On Monday we drove across the moors to the location of the Battle of Culloden. The NTS have built a new museum dedicated to the history of this historic battle between the Jacobites and the Hanoverian Forces on 16th April 1746, the result of which changed the face of clan life in Scotland for ever more. After spending time understanding the historical facts ( individually as Ruby was not allowed in) we were able to walk around the battlefield. This is now regarded as a war memorial to all those who lost their lives and was surprisingly moving.
After our visit was stayed at the Culloden Moor Camping and Motorhome Site – only 3 miles from the battlefield….a lovely little site with country views which we would definitely use again….you can get the bus from outside the campsite into Inverness if you don’t want to move your van.
