Sanna Beach to The Glenfinnan Monument - The West Scotland Adventure - Stage 09

* Tarmac Tourism // Asphalt Adventures // Road Reviews * Stage 9 would see us driving from Sanna Beach to The Glenfinnan Monument, along the B8007, A861 and A830, a distance of 56 miles.
Sanna Beach can be found in Sanna Bay on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, a short drive from Ardnamurchan point to the south, where we finished our previous stage, and Sanna Point to the north.
On a clear day it is possible to see the Scottish islands of Rhum, Muck, Eigg and Canna from the beach with the possibility of also seeing whales and dolphins. Other wildlife in the area also includes; sea eagles, otters and pine martens.

The Glenfinnan Monument can be found on the shore of Loch Shiel and was built in 1815 on the site where Bonnie Prince Charlie first raised his forces in preparation for the Jacobite Uprising on the 19th August 1745.
The monument is a tribute not only to the Jacobite clansmen who died during the uprising, but also to Alexander Macdonald of Glenaladale, who is the man who commissioned Scottish architect James Gillespie Graham to design the monument. The statue that sits atop the monument was not added until 1835.
The monument is 18 metres tall and its construction was only made possible by the building of the nearby road, now known as the A830, in 1812 which was commissioned by a man known as Thomas Telford that stretches from Fort William to Arisaig.
Also nearby are the Glenfinnan Viaduct and the island that was used as the filming location for the Triwizard Tournament in the Harry Potter film series.
