Glenfinnan Raising of the Standard 2008

Na Fir Dileas will be conducting a commemoration of the Raising of the Jacobite Standard at Glenfinnan, on Saturday 16 August 2008.

Everyone will gather in the field below the Glenfinnan viaduct and the march to the stone will step off, promptly at 12:00 noon. After arrival at the stone, the commemoration service and Standard raising will take place.

Here are some images from the 2007 commemoration -

Prayer being offered during the service


For those unfamiliar, the Glenfinnan viaduct is the Harry Potter bridge
