	Culloden
		By the time the two sides met again in Culloden in April 1746, the English army had developed a new strategy against the Highland Charge.
		Laws were also passed that made it illegal for Highlanders to carry weapons, wear tartan clothes or play their bagpipes.
		At the Battle of Prestonpans in September 1745 and the Battle of Falkirk in January 1746, the Highland Charge once again proved successful against the English army.

		Culloden was also to signal the beginning of the end (the final blow fell during the Highland Clearances) for the highland way of life as Chieftains were stripped of their lands, titles, rights and honor.
		But at Culloden, an ill-fated and ill-timed decision had been made to charge the English that lay in formation across the boggy Culloden moor rather than wait for the highlanders to fully assemble and plan their assault.
		After several failed attempts to get the men to charge, the highlanders finally began spilling out onto the moor in their tartan plaids and blue bonnets that were capped with a white Cockade feather.

		He also lent his name to the highland settlements of Fort William and Fort Augustus, and was to be revered by the British Government and King George II as the saviour of Hanoverian rule in the face of an evil Jacobite attempt against them.
		His actions ensured that the whole of the highlands, over a long period of time, would pay the price for the Jacobite cause and his arrival was the beginning of the end for the old highland way of life.
		His son, the would-be James VIII of Scotland, made an attempt to return to the Scottish coast in 1708, one year after the act of union between Scotland and England, with a reasonably large army composing of French troops and a number of ships.

	The Jacobites
		With this work, the author contends that the Highland rebellion was not a despairing last stand by a Celtic civilisation, and that Jacobite loyalties were not solely determined by the Highland line, Gaelic culture, or religion.
		'Who was this man Charles Edward Stuart who became known to legend as Bonnie Prince Charlie?' Frank McLynn pursues this fascinating question in his highly acclaimed study of the 'Young Pretender', whose unsuccessful challenge to the Hanoverian throne was followed by the crushing defeat at Culloden in 1746.
		The prince was to play out the rest of his career dogged by a sense of failure and betrayal.

		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.
		The battle proved rather one sided as the experience government troops out-thought and out-fought the tired Highland clansmen.

		The choice of Culloden Moor was made by one of the few advisors which the 25 year old Prince trusted, his Quartermaster and Adjutant-General John William O'Sullivan, a man neither respected nor liked by the Highland chiefs.
		In the midst of preparation for the battle of Culloden the Camerons, Stewarts of Appin and the Athollmen were given the honor of being positioned in the first line of the Jacobite right flank.

	Overview of Culloden Battlefield
		Located 6 miles (9 km) east of Inverness, Culloden Battlefield was the site of the final bloody defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie's 1745 uprising and the effective end of the Jacobite cause.
		Thus, Culloden has become a potent symbol of Scottish nationalism, despite the fact that more Scots fought for the Hanoverian army.
		Had the killing stopped with the battle, perhaps it would have been considered reasonable, however, Cumberland's brutality saw almost the same number murdered as they tried to escape and ushered in a time of repression of the Highland way of life.

		The Highlanders advanced bravely 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.

		The front line of exhausted highland foot soldiers had guns in the centre and on the flanks, the second line included their horse regiments, worn out from the night march, and the Scots and Irish regiments of the French army.

		But while I understood all this - as it were - intellectually, it came as a tremendous revelation, actually to be in a Highland township of the kind that would have been familiar to the men who, in April 1746, were ordered into battle, by Prince Charles Edward Stuart, on Culloden Moor.
		In times of trouble and when ordered to do so by their chiefs, the adult males among a township's residents doubled as the fighting men whose role it was to make the devastating charges that were the basis of Highland warfare.
		Most of those men's lives, however, together with the lives of their wives, their daughters and their sons, were taken up with the more mundane, but endlessly pressing, task of growing the crops and rearing the animals on which their community, like thousands of similar communities, depended.

	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.
		Highlanders were odd, barbaric and 'clannish' to the city dwelling Lowlander, who naturally saw them as more like 'wild Irish' (as they called them), or 'Wild Hielander' more than Scottish.
		Highlanders were subjected to every imaginable savagery whilst being encouraged to emigrate (penniless) to another country.

		Culloden was the last major battle to be fought on British soil.Continuing along the B9006 for several miles, you will arrive at Cawdor village and Cawdor Castle, locally pronounced 'Cawdir', one of the most romantic and commodious castles in Scotland.

		I take some personal satisfaction from asking the Question, "who really won the Battle of Culloden?" The answer I give is "us," for today as a direct result of the "brutality and persecution" the Clans suffered Scotland is a united nation, not the one which fought a near civil war at that time.
		While living on the edge of the Highlands they were able to establish a link with Aberdeen, one of the wealthiest trading burghs of the kingdom, affording trade and foreign travel unusual for a Highland clan.
		There were clansman who served with the Scots Brigade in Holland between 1572 and 1782; several of the clan were in the army of the Tsar of Russia; Thomas Gordon became Governor of Krinstadt; Lady Katherine, youngest daughter of the second Marquess, married a Polish nobleman and her grandson became King of Poland.
