    Culloden on KCTS

    I just caught the end of a show on KCTS about the battle of Culloden. I think it started at 9:00 PM. It brought more than a tear to my eye actually, I had ancestors there. Anyone else catch the show?

    The Battlefield Britain show on Culloden was pretty good. I stayed in Inverness, but due to time restraints, we didn't make it to Culloden. I will go next time I am there.

    I drove past the site on the way to and from Dalcross Airport, Inverness, and saw the sign.

    Must also have a closer look next time.

    Well worth the visit. My lovely wife says Culloden stands alone in the battlefields she has visited. I am vaguely reminded of Antietam.

    That is also as close as I have ever been - on the A96 when driving from Elgin to Inverness and back again. I am afraid I never thought to visit the site - what a confession!
