Having established a residence in Morar, and conscious of his tenants moving westward, Simon Lord Lovat decided that the time had come to provide 'a more suitable place of worship than the former inconvenient and unsightly chapel at Bracara.' The site he chose lay at the foot of Cruach Bheoraid looking across to the islands.

We stopped at the viaduct on our way to Skye and we were certainly not disappointed! Timed to perfection we managed to be there for the passing Jacobite Steam Train and found the perfect spot to capture some amazing video footage and photo’s. Our visit was topped off with a beautiful double rainbow over the viaduct!! If you are a Harry Potter fan this is not to be missed - if you appreciate the beautiful countryside and architecture; again this is not to be missed.

Monument to Scotish leader Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Glenfinnan monument stands proud against the backdrop of Loch Shiel and the surrounding hills. Owned by the National Trust, access to the top of the monument is via the national trust visitor centre across the road. Access is via steep narrow steps and is not for everyone, however if you do gain access then the climb up allows you to savour the views. For those unable to access the top of the monument, a walk down the path to the base of the monument and the shores of Loch Shiel Is not to be missed. Parking is a problem and the trust car park is often full. My advice is to arrive early or later in the day avoiding the time of the steam train crossing the Glenfinnan viaduct.

Good walk and even views of Ben Nevis Summit on a clear day. Took this route on a clear day so had views of Glen Nevis and Ben Nevis summit when the clouds cleared. Nice spot at the top to picnic - or try the forest if it's windy and you need shelter. Good tracks - well sign posted.

The ‘commercial home’ of the Mainland Bookend it is neither the most northerly nor the furthest point from Lands’ end but will continue to be the tourist mecca and certainly meets the End to Enders requirement. The good thing is that the parking here is free and plentiful (although may get stretched in high season). It is well served with refreshments and gift/craft/tat opportunities. Unlike Lands End there is no longer a professional photographer – I was hoping to get a mirror of the one I got there last year – so go with a friend or find someone who is also seeking a souvenir photo and will do an exchange. It really should have a professional on site in my view.
