Interesting read!

One of Scotland’s oldest surviving books which was produced by Pictish-era monks and contains the earliest examples of written Gaelic is coming home .

Some great piping at the Glenfinnan Monument today to mark the 275th anniversary start of the ‘45 Rebellion and the run up to the Battle of Prestonpans.

As the sun goes down on the 275th anniversary of the 'Raising of the Standard' at Glenfinnan, we wanted to share the performance of talented local piper, Katie at NTS Glenfinnan Monument this afternoon ??

This was her first time playing at altitude too ??

It is said that after arriving at Glenfinnan to find no clansmen waiting for him, Bonnie Prince Charlie was dejected, until he heard the distant sound of bagpipes coming o'er the hills. The bagpipes signalled the arrival of the first of around 1,200 men who pledged their support to him and the Jacobite cause that day.

70 years later, the Monument was built to celebrate the part Glenfinnan played in Scottish history on 19 August 1745 and to commemorate the "generous zeal, undaunted bravery and inviolable fidelity of all those men who fought and bled" for the return of a Stuart King to the throne that year...

Thank you Katie and all those who came to remember that sentiment with us today ??
