Bonnie Prince Charlie marched through the glen on his way to the infamous massacre at Culloden in 1746. In the 18th century General Wade built a military road through the glen. King Malcolm III of Scotland also marched through the glen to recover his kingdom from the usurper Macbeth.The Romans even built a fort and watchtower at Fendoch and it even featured in the film Chariots of Fire. The glen is also associated with the legendary hero Ossian and his stone, which is believed to be his burial site. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March 2022, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March.
