Why Culloden Battlefield matters
A bleak, quiet moor outside Inverness, this is where the Jacobite army was defeated in 1746, ending the risings. The visitor centre tells the story from both sides, and markers across the field show where clans fell. It is a sombre, moving place, and best visited slowly with respect.
Talking points
- The battle took place in 1746.
- Memorial cairns mark clan graves.
- The visitor centre tells both sides.
