Duration: 2 Hours
A cruise halfway down the Loch and back to this beautiful and majestic glen, homeland of Sliochd Iain Oig, a notable branch of the MacDonalds of Clan Ranald. In 1745 Bonnie Prince Charlie spent a night here prior to landing at Glenfinnan, where the Standard was raised, starting the ill-fated Jacobite uprising and the quest to reclaim the throne for his family, the Stuarts. A descendant of the MacDonalds of Glenaladale built the monument at Glenfinnan in memory of the clansmen faithful to the Jacobite cause. Superb views of the monument, church and 21-arch railway viaduct. See the “Jacobite Steam Train” crossing the viaduct on this cruise, now world famous for its part in the Harry Potter films.
