Culloden Battlefield

1746 battle between Jacobites and the government.  There were Scots on both sides.  The Jacobites wanted to put 'Bonnie Prince Charles' on the throne, but they lost badly in the end (1500 dead compared to only 50 on the government side).  This was known as the last hand to hand battle fought in the UK.  Swords and knives vs. bayonnets.  Very messy.

 There were markers for each of the clans that fought in the battle, no individuals graves.

 Can you imagine charging into cannon and gun fire in inadequate footwear running through thigh high heather??
