The Battle of Culloden – A Battle That Changed Scotland Forever
The Battle of Culloden was no simple skirmish. In fact, it was a battle that shaped the future of an entire nation – and it took place right in the Scottish Highlands, on Culloden Moor. In 1746, the Jacobite forces loyal to Bonnie Prince Charlie faced off against the might of the British government army. The defeat was swift and brutal, bringing an end to the Jacobite dream and ushering in a harsh period of suppression. The repercussions were immense. Scottish culture was deliberately eroded, and even traditional Highland dress such as the kilt was banned! Yet today, these traditions have returned in proud defiance, a revival seen in the very spirit of Inverness and the Highlands (and in the kilted guides of Happy Tours!)
Why Take a Private Culloden Battlefield Tour?
The Battle of Culloden took place just a short distance from Inverness on the haunting site of Culloden Moor. This windswept Highland plain saw the tragic end of the Jacobite uprising and the beginning of sweeping changes across Scotland. Today, Culloden Moor is a place of reflection, memory and incredible storytelling. When you visit Culloden Battlefield on a private tour, it’s more than just sightseeing. You get the opportunity to immerse yourself in the legacy and spirit of all those who fought and fell there! The Culloden Visitor Centre, operated by the National Trust for Scotland, also offers an immersive experience through interactive exhibits, audio-visual storytelling and even original artefacts from the battle itself. But to truly appreciate your surroundings, nothing compares to exploring the area alongside a knowledgeable, passionate, private tour guide (that’s where Happy Tours steps in)!
