Culloden

After leaving Blair Castle, we had a stunning drive through the highlands towards Culloden, site of the final battle in the Jacobite Rising against the English in 1746. It was over in less than an hour and around 1600 men were killed. 1500 of them were Jacobites, mainly Scottish highlanders and clansmen.

The battlefield is quite a moving place. Stone memorials mark the burial sites of the members of the clans.

From Culloden, itwas a short drive to Inverness, the northern most city in Scotland and the gateway to the highlands.Weiterlesen
