BATTLEFIELD
Culloden Moor, Inverness, IV2 5EU
OS Ref: NH745450
Culloden Battlefield
One of the most famous
battles in Scottish history is
laid bare at the award-winning
Culloden Battlefield and Visitor
Centre. With the site now fully
restored – making it as close
a representation as possible
to the original battlefield – you
can expand your knowledge
of that fateful conflict, which
claimed the lives of 1,200 in
the space of one bloody hour,
and learn about events which
led to the confrontation itself.
Not only can you walk in the
footsteps of the characters
involved in the fighting, thanks
to the new, state-of-the-art
interactive exhibition, but you
can watch a Living History
presentation which brings the
battle vividly to life. There’s
also an animated battle table,
sketching the topography of
the field and offering an insight
into the forces’ tactics on the
day. After swotting up on the
particulars of Culloden, head
to the roof terrace for a bird’s
eye view of Culloden Moor
as it stands today. You can
also see displays of authentic
weapons
and
artefacts
found on the boggy ground.
Operated by the National
Trust for Scotland, the visitor
centre boasts environmentally-
friendly facilities and a large
restaurant serving a range of
delicious dishes.
