Don’t miss our Visitor Centre’s fascinating exhibition about the Jacobite Rising of 1745 and its leader Prince Charles Edward Stuart.
Presented in English and Gaelic, through artefacts, audio guides and an intricate model of the Glenfinnan Gathering, you’ll be immersed in that moment on 19 August when the ’45 began.
You’ll discover what inspired Bonnie Prince Charlie (to his supporters) or the Young Pretender (to his foes) to set out on this daring campaign to regain the throne for the Stuarts and how the campaign unfolded after they marched off from Glenfinnan.
The exhibition is also home to a comprehensive stock of Jacobite history books, children’s books and fiction inspired by the era, which you can buy to deepen your understanding after you leave.
Every child (and grown-up too) needs to check out the model and spot the Highlander who couldn’t quite wait until the end of the Glenfinnan Gathering to, umm, relieve himself ...
