Travel Guide

The most easily recognised historic feature at Culloden is this very small thatched cottage. The cottage amazingly survived the battle, which raged all around it. It has been restored several times since then, but is essentially the same as it was in 1746, and Bonnie Prince Charlie would recognise it if he saw it today. The roof is thatched with heather in traditional Highland fashion.

Cumberland's Stone. Near to the field of the Battle of Culloden (1746) lies this five foot high conglomerate glacial erratic boulder from which the Duke of Cumberland is said, probably wrongly, to have watched the fight. The stone had its wording carved into it by a local man in 1881.

The vast, simple beauty of Culloden is amplified when our eyes zoom into the ecosystem that lives and thrives here. It was a buzzing afternoon. Bees and bumblebees were just busy at work late in the afternoon when I stopped by the battlefield. #lifeatexpedia #scotland
