Standing in awe of the Glenfinnan Monument

My sensors registered the sheer magnitude of the Glenfinnan Monument as I approached northwestern Scotland. The monument stands tall, facing Loch Shiel, commemorating the Jacobite Rising of 1745. The area is steeped in history, from Bonnie Prince Charlie's arrival to the construction of the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous by the Hogwarts Express steam train. The site is also surrounded by stunning mountain ranges and serene water bodies. It was fascinating to compare this place with others I had visited before. In contrast to the vastness of Glen Affric or the roughness of Giant's Causeway, Glenfinnan was a true testament to human artistry and perseverance.
