	Culloden Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		1688 was the year in which King James VII of Scotland and II of England was deposed in favour of William of Orange by a Protestant nobility fearful he was starting a Catholic dynasty.
		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.
		We are pleased to be able to report that the National Trust for Scotland hopes to open a brand new visitor centre in late 2007 that will be larger than its predecessor, be less visible, and be clear of the main historical area of fighting.

	GO BRITANNIA! Scotland: A Brief History - After Culloden
		In Edinburgh, in 1746, a publication made clear the government's belief that legislation would extinguish the Jacobite menace: "Superiorities display'd: or Scotland's grievance, by reason of the slavish dependence of the people upon their great men; upon account of holdings or tenures of their lands, and of the many and the hereditary jurisdictions over them.
		Wherein is shown, that these have been the handles of rebellion in preceding ages, especially in the year 1715: and that, upon their removal, and putting the people of Scotland on the footing of those in England, the seeds of rebellion will be plucked for ever."
		Thus the successful referenda of the 1990's that will bring back limited control of their own affairs to these two Celtic nations is all the more remarkable.

	Scottish Accommodation Index - Culloden, Scotland UK
		The connection between Culloden and all of these images and ideas is remarkable, especially if we consider that the event which connects them to this moor lasted less than half an hour: the Battle of Culloden, 16th of April, 1746.
		The house of Stuart had ascended to the Scottish throne with Robert II in 1371 and the English throne under James VI of Scotland and I of England in 1603.
		The great irony of the aftermath of Culloden is that as Highland culture was being obliterated those symbols of that culture (kilts, tartan, bagpipes, etc) were being reinvented, largely by the writer Walter Scott, as symbols of the nation itself.

		Jacobite is the term that was used for Scottish supporters of the exiled King James of Scotland and later his son the Bonnie Prince (Prince Charlie) who were attempting to reclaim the Scottish throne from the English.
		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.
		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.

		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.
		The earliest record of the name Gordon in Scotland was in the late 12th century and related to the parish of Gordon in the Merse in Berwickshire.
		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.

		I yesterday saw a TV programme which referred to the battle of Culloden, that famous 18th century battle which ended Scotland's attempt to regain independence from England.
		This was not a Scottish war for independence; it was a dynastic struggle between the Stuarts and the Hanoverians, the Scottish house of Stuart having inherited England in 1603, and having lost both thrones through the stupidity of James II in 1685-88 and lack of heirs in 1714.
