	Glenfinnan Monument Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		By 1815 the Jacobite threat had receded sufficiently into history to allow the erection at Glenfinnan of a monument to mark the raising of the standard, paid for by the wealthy descendant of a Jacobite.
		This is a stone tower surmounted by a statue of a kilted highlander (not the prince himself as is often thought).
		The monument was made possible by the construction in 1812 by Thomas Telford of the road from Fort William to Arisaig, which passed Glenfinnan as its successor does today.
