Prince Charles Edward Stuart raised the royal standard at Glenfinnan on 19 August 1745 — the formal opening of the '45 rising. He had landed on the Scottish mainland at Loch nan Uamh three weeks earlier with only seven companions (the Seven Men of Moidart). Cameron of Lochiel's Camerons, the MacDonalds of Keppoch and other clans arrived at Glenfinnan in the thousands. The standard was unfurled with the reading of his father's commission. Glenfinnan is now commemorated by a monument erected in 1815, and is one of the most evocative Jacobite sites in Scotland.
