The good news is the Trust will now be putting up signs having designated the area a scheduled war grave.

Job done

Not THE MacNeill of "the Scotch egg" as seen on TV news yesterday?

Very nice of you all to say so, but as I see it someone had to do it and it just happened to be me.

Culloden is not a leisure park or anything remotely near it: it was a scruffy bit of semi-arable farmland which just happened to have a very bloody pitched battle fought on it. It's now a war grave, and there are plenty of areas for picnicking on the battlefield away from the graves (as some people see it as a must-do thing for some reason).

I personally would rather dine elsewhere altogether.
