<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Glenfinnan Monument, Glenfinnan, Scotland.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenfinnan_Monument" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wikipedia</a>:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Glenfinnan Monument is a Category A listed monument in Glenfinnan, Lochaber, erected in 1814 and dedicated to the Scottish Highlanders who fought in the Jacobite Army during the Jacobite rising of 1745.<br>By 1814, Jacobitism was no longer a political threat to the House of Hanover. Alexander Macdonald, a member of Clan Macdonald of Clanranald, ordered the construction of the tower to commemorate the Highlanders who fought on the side of Charles Edward Stuart during the rebellion. Alexander&#8217;s father had hosted Stuart for a night in 1745 on his travels. The tower, which is 59 ft (18 m) in height, was designed by Scottish architect James Gillespie Graham.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The monument&#8217;s location at Glenfinnan was made possible by a new road (now the A830), built by Thomas Telford and opened in 1812, between Fort William and Arisaig. The tower&#8217;s construction was funded partially by the wealth accrued from slave plantations in Jamaica owned by Macdonald&#8217;s father, also named Alexander. A statue of an unknown Highlander designed by John Greenshields, referred to at the point of commission as Stuart himself, was added in 1835.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since 1938, the monument has been in the care of the National Trust for Scotland. The Trust has constructed a visitor centre, providing tickets, information, exhibitions, a shop, a café and toilets. In 2021, the Trust replaced a portrait of Stuart in the visitor centre with a display which detailed the links between the monument and slavery along with information on the ownership of slaves by Highland elites.</p>
