	Battle of Culloden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Battle of Culloden (April 16, 1746), was the last military clash in Scotland (and the UK mainland), between the forces of the Jacobites, who supported the claim of Charles Edward Stuart (aka "Bonnie Prince Charlie") to the throne; and the Royal Army which supported the Hanoverian sovereign, King George II.
		Culloden brought the 1745 Jacobite Rising to a close.
		The Highlanders advanced on the left flank of the Government troops but were subjected to several volleys of musket fire and the artillery which had switched from roundshot to grapeshot.

	CULLODEN MOOR AND THE STORY OF THE BATTLE
		HAVING been for some years resident in the neighbourhood of the Culloden [now Allanfearn] Railway Station, the Author's attention has been a good deal engaged with the scene and incidents of the expiring struggle of the Stuart dynasty, and the last battle fought on British ground.
		The last fifty three years have seen a renascence of interest in the Stuart risings, and the printing of a number of contemporary records has led to a juster estimate of the events that culminated on Culloden Moor.
		And the clans of Culloden are scattered in fight.

	Culloden Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		It was not, as often portrayed, a battle between the Scots and the English: in reality the Scots on the Government side outnumbered those fighting for the Jacobites.
		As for Culloden Moor itself, the battlefield has over the intervening years been treated almost as badly as the wounded left lying on it at the end of the conflict.
		Culloden is an evocative place, and despite the excess of vegetation the National Trust for Scotland should be congratulated for the work they have done to restore it to a state that would have been more easily recognised by a participant on the day.

	Culloden Battle site
		The Battle of Culloden - April 16th 1746 - marked the fall of the Jacobite rebellion of 1745, which sought to restore the Stuart monarchy to the throne.
		The battle started with an exchange of artillery that quickly became a one sided affair, as the Jacobite gunners were vastly outnumbered and outclassed.
		There is a tradition of haunted battle sites in Britain and Culloden is no exception, ghostly soldiers are supposed to appear on the anniversary of the battle on the 16th of April, and the cries of battle and the clash of steel have also been reported.

		The last battle fought on British mainland soil was not, as is commonly understood, between the English and the Scots, but between the British government and their rebels.
		The battle proved rather one sided as the experience government troops out-thought and out-fought the tired Highland clansmen.
		In the aftermath of Culloden, severe repressive measure were taken by the government against Highland society - tartan and bagpipes were banned and the Gaelic language was not encouraged; traditional heritable jurisdictions were also terminated; and, at various strategic points, strong stone forts were built to help subdue the local population.

	Culloden House
		Culloden House was the centre of a very big estate providing employment throughout the centuries for many Invernesians.

	Battle of Culloden
		The battle was not quite over yet but at that moment when the clansmen turned their backs on the government line and started to drift or run away, Jacobitism was a threat no longer to the Hanoverian dynasty and a chapter of British history came to an end.
		The battle continued though and Walter Stapleton, commander of the Scots and Irish soldiers in the service of the King of France and now standing on the left of the second Jacobite line, saw the Macdonalds break and start to run.
		The English horse under Henry Hawley, who had lost the battle of Falkirk, seemed disinclined to press their attack with much courage though they were to prove enthusiastic butchers of wounded Jacobites when the battle was over.

		In expectation of a battle the previous day, Charles had animated his troops by an appeal to their feelings, and on the present occasion he rode from rank to rank encouraging his men, and exhorting them to act as they had done at Prestonpans and at Falkirk.
		As no such order was alluded to in the official accounts of the battle, and as, at the interview which took place between the Earl of Kilmarnock and Lord Balmerino, on the morning of their execution, both these noblemen stated their entire ignorance of it, no doubt whatever can exist of the forgery.
		The former, in the confusion of the battle, mistook, amidst the smoke, a party of English dragoons for Fitz-James's horse, and was taken.

	Tragic Highland Clearances, Chapter 1: the Beginnings
		Although to attempt to view the devastation of the Highlanders and their life-style as a sole result of Culloden and the Jacobite Wars is a vast oversimplification, it is still a very important factor in the end of the Highland Clan System.
		Immediately after Culloden, and in the years to follow, great numbers of people in the Highlands, men, women and children, were killed on mere suspicion of disloyalty to the Government, or even on general principle that the 'only good Highlander was a dead Highlander'.
		Although it has been said it was not the Clan System that died at Culloden, for it still exists today, it is a fool who believes that the surviving Clan Chiefs hold any power as their predecessors had held before Culloden.
