点评:Planned to call in past in the afternoon, but parking was utter madness, with parking bays completely full up - so drove on to Mallaig, and visited hours later, on the way back. Parked up the hill outside beautiful St. Mary & St. Finnan Church, and walked down to the monument. It’s in a truly dramatic location at the head of Loch Shiel, with stunningly beautiful panoramic views. The 18 metre high tower, designed by James Gillespie Graham, was built in 1815 to commemorate the clansmen who died fighting for Bonnie Prince Charlie in the 1745 Jacobite rising. A figure of a lone kilted Highlander standing at the top , is a poignant reminder of the lives lost to the Jacobite cause. During opening hours you can visit the visitor centre & climb the monument - but we were visiting after hours , when it was quieter. Lots of lovely walks in the area to appreciate the glorious Highland surroundings.
翻译:计划下午过去,但是停车实在太疯狂了,停车位都停满了——所以开车去了马莱格,几个小时后,在回来的路上参观了那里。把车停在美丽的圣玛丽和圣芬南教堂外的山上,然后步行到纪念碑。它位于希尔湖源头一个真正引人注目的位置,可以欣赏到令人惊叹的美丽全景。这座 18 米高的塔由詹姆斯吉莱斯皮格雷厄姆设计,建于 1815 年,以纪念在 1745 年詹姆斯党起义中为查理王子而战死的部族成员。一个穿着苏格兰短裙的孤独高地人站在顶上,令人沉痛地提醒着人们为詹姆斯党事业牺牲的生命。在开放时间内,您可以参观游客中心并攀登纪念碑——但我们是在营业时间之后去的,那时比较安静。该地区有很多美丽的步行道,可以欣赏壮丽的高地环境。
