IT was the battle that helped to shape Scotland but, 275 years on, it is fighting a silent foe. The National Trust for Scotland is to celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of Culloden next week online because of the pandemic. Prince Charles Edward Stuart’s arrival in Scotland ignited the 1745 Jacobite uprising, which in turn reached a tragic conclusion on Culloden Moor on April 16,1746. The final confrontation of the Jacobite rebellion, it was the last large-scale pitched battle fought on British soil and, for many sources, the last battle of any sort fought in Great Britain. It was also one of the most harrowing battles in British history. Jacobite supporters, seeking to restore the Stuart monarchy to the British throne, gathered on the moor to fight the Duke of Cumberland’s government troops. In less than one hour, around 1,600 men had been slain – 1,500 of them Jacobites.
