Tour Culloden

Culloden, near Inverness, was the scene of the last major battle on mainland Britain, which ended with the Stuart dreams of regaining the throne. On 16 April 1746, Prince
Charles Edward Stuart and his Jacobite army were
trounced by government forces led by the Duke of
Cumberland, within 40 minutes of fighting.

Troops fought on moorland around Old Leanach Cottage, which survived the fray and has been refurbished with period furnishings.

Visitors to Culloden can view several memorials. The
visitor centre has a colourful historical display and an
audio-visual programme in six languages (English, French, Gaelic, German, Italian and Japanese). There is an auditorium, study room bookshop and a restaurant.
