On 19 August 1745 Prince Charles Edward Stuart, accompanied by the Seven Men of Moidart, was rowed up the length of Loch Sheal and landed on the beach at a spot very close to the Monument. The Standard was raised here, marking the beginning of the Jacobite Rising.
 
The Monument was built in 1815 and later passed into the ownership of the National trust for Scotland. A representative of the Stewart Society is always one of the Trustees for the Monument and sits as part of the local Glenfinnan committee.
 
The Glenfinnan Games is held here annually. On 19 August 1995 the Stewart Society gathered here to coincide with the Games, two hundred and fifty years, to the very day, since the Jacobite Standard was raised.
