Set within an evocative, majestic Highland landscape at the head of Loch Sheil near Fort William, the Glenfinnan Monument was erected in 1815 on the spot where Bonnie Prince Charlie rose his standard in 1745. This iconic landmark commemorates the events that followed at Culloden and remains a tribute to Jacobite clansmen.  The Foundation is supporting the Trust’s urgent and comprehensive repair program to address the monument’s tilt, which has occurred due to soil settlement. A new roof and windows are required to ensure that rain does not get in; the tower and boundary walls need repointing; and safety must be improved with the addition of a new handrail and lighting.
