Culloden Photos

I have not seen the new Visitor Centre at Culloden yet either, but there is apparently a stone set into the new Culloden Walk at the Centre, which has been officially inscribed "Hamish - The Kilted Legend"! I cannot wait to see it.

Take care,
Ham.

Beowulf67,
I think you'll find Culloden strikingly different. It doesn't have all the stone monuments like Shiloh or Gettysburg. Nor does the terrain resemble our Southern battlefields. It's still a flat, lonely moor - in fact the Battle of Culloden took place on Drumossie Moor.

There are memorials & permanent placards describing where units were positioned. And of course the large stone memorial cairn. Trails surround the battlefield for self-guided tours. Simple incised stone markers indicate which clansmen are buried where.

But what I've always felt the sky was always more overcast at Culloden, and the wind a bit sharper. But most of all is simply how sad it feels to be there.

Plan on being there next summer. It'll be a long drive from Edinburgh, but well worth it.

Slainte yall,
steve
