Election candidates are being urged today to support a bid for Culloden battlefield to become a world heritage site to defend the “cultural crown jewel” from developers.
On the 275th anniversary of the historic conflict, the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) has published a manifesto seeking increased protection for battlefield sites.
In Scotland, it would also join the Antonine Wall; the Heart of Neolithic Orkney; New Lanark; the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh; St Kilda and the Forth Bridge.

The National Trust for Scotland (NTS) is calling on politicians to support the bid for the Culloden battlefield to become a world heritage site.
Culloden, near Inverness, was the site of the final battle of the Jacobite Rising, where Charles Edward Stuart’s army was defeated by a British government force under William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland.
To coincide with the battle’s 275th anniversary, NTS has published a manifesto of policies it wants Scotland’s political parties to back – including support for making the battleground a Unesco world heritage site.
Heritage campaigners are calling on politicians to support Culloden’s bid to become a recognised World Heritage Site and increase protection for Scotland’s historic battlefields. The National Trust for Scotland (NTS)has outlined proposals for battlefield locations in a new manifesto published ahead of the forthcoming Scottish Parliamentary Elections on May 6, 2021. The manifesto calls on Scotland’s political parties to include battlefields in the forthcoming National Planning Framework 4, which maps out a long-term plan for national development and infrastructure, supporting sustainable and inclusive growth. NPF4 will set out a clear and definite plan for Scotland until 2050, and the National Trust for Scotland is calling for battlefield landscapes to be afforded the same protections as other historic sites, such as Scheduled Monuments or listed buildings, protecting them from intrusive developments.
