Culloden Moor in Scotland • Scene of the Battle of Culloden in 1746
We visit Culloden Moor, scene of the Battle of Culloden in 1746. At Culloden Moor on a sleeting April day in 1746, Charles Edward Stuart led his Jacobite army to ultimate disaster at the Battle of Culloden. The last battle to be fought on British soil took less than an hour to reach its bloody conclusion.
Bonnie Prince Charlie's army of 5,000 Jacobites faced 9,000 well-armed British troops under the command of the prince's distant cousin, General William Cumberland. Many Jacobites were killed as they lay wounded on the battlefield or after being taken prisoner.
Government dragoons were dispatched to hunt down fleeing Jacobites. The dragoons roamed far and wide, indiscriminately killing rebels, bystanders, spectators, residents and anyone else who was within reach in the aftermath of the battle. It is estimated that the total dead on the Jacobite side was well over 1,000. Nearly 3500 Jacobites, supporters and others were taken prisoner in the aftermath of Culloden. Cumberland later became known as Butcher Cumberland for the atrocities committed after the battle ended. Culloden marked the end of a sporadic civil war for Succession that had lasted 60 years. After that, Jacobite hopes of another “Restoration” were effectively dead.

How the Battle of Culloden Unfolded with Dan Snow
In the early morning of 16 April 1746 the Battle of Culloden began with an exchange of artillery fire from both sides – mortar and cannon shot. Then, after what must have seemed like an age, the order was given for the feared Highland charge.
Dan Snow tells the story of how the last pitched battle ever fought on British soil unfolded.
Culloden Memorial Service and battlefield April 2012.wmv
Culloden battlefield memorial service. Culloden Battlefield. Very informative and moving display to see before moving onto the battlefield where you can almost hear and see the battle.
I was lucky enough to join the memorial service on the Saturday. I then went back to the battleground on the actual anniversary date to look at the display and walk the battlefield. Wonderful, moving experience.
Culloden Battlefield Scotland
Culloden is the site of one of Britain’s most important battles. On the 16th April 1746, an army of around 5000 Jacobite Highlanders faced an army of 9000 Hanoverian Government Troops across the bleak Culloden Moor. Although the Jacobites had defeated the Government troops in every battle since the beginning of that campaign in August 1745, their exhaustion and bad leadership resulted in decimation at Culloden.
Culloden Battlefield has been returned to a similar appearance as it would have had in 1745. The moor is marked with the burial sites of the dead of the clans, and flags mark the positions of the Jacobite clans and the Government troops.
There is a visitor centre detailing the events leading up to the battle, the key actions of the battle and the gruesome aftermath. A new visitor centre opened in 2008 and it is well designed so that you can understand the motivations and dilemmas of the opposing sides that fought at Culloden.
Culloden est le site de l'une des batailles les plus importantes de la Grande-Bretagne. Le 16 Avril 1746 une armée d'environ 5000 jacobites Highlanders fait face à une armée de 9000 soldats Hanovrien gouvernement à travers le sombre Culloden Moor. Bien que les Jacobites avaient battu les troupes gouvernementales dans toutes les batailles depuis le début de cette campagne en Août 1745 leur épuisement et la mauvaise conduite ont donné lieu à décimation à Culloden.
Culloden Battlefield a été renvoyé à une apparence similaire à celle qu'il aurait eu en 1745. La lande est marquée par les lieux de sépulture des morts des clans, et des drapeaux marquer les positions des clans jacobites et les troupes gouvernementales.
Il y a un centre d'accueil précisant les événements qui ont mené à la bataille, les actions clés de la bataille et les conséquences horribles. Un nouveau centre d'accueil ouvert en 2008 et il est bien conçu pour que vous puissiez comprendre les motivations et les dilemmes des côtés opposés qui ont combattu à Culloden.
Culloden
The Battle of Culloden was the final confrontation of the 1745 Jacobite Rising. On 16 April 1746, the Jacobite forces of Charles Edward Stuart fought loyalist troops commanded by William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. The Hanoverian victory at Culloden decisively halted the Jacobite intent to overthrow the House of Hanover and restore the House of Stuart to the British throne; Charles Stuart never mounted any further attempts to challenge Hanoverian power in Great Britain. The conflict was the last pitched battle fought on British soil.
Charles Stuart's Jacobite army consisted largely of Scottish Highlanders, as well as a number of Lowland Scots and a small detachment of Englishmen from the Manchester Regiment. The Jacobites were supported and supplied by the Kingdom of France and French and Irish units loyal to France were part of the Jacobite army. The British Government forces were mostly English, along with a significant number of Scottish Lowlanders and Highlanders, a battalion of Ulstermen and a small number of Hessians from Germany and Austrians. The battle on Culloden Moor was both quick and bloody, taking place within an hour. Following an unsuccessful Highland charge against the government lines, the Jacobites were routed and driven from the field.
Between 1,500 and 2,000 Jacobites were killed or wounded in the brief battle, while government losses were lighter with 50 dead and 259 wounded, although recent geophysical studies on the government burial pit suggest the figure to be nearer 300.

Outlander - The Battle Of Culloden - Uninterrupted Cut
I thought it would be interesting to see how the battle would look like without the interrupting cuts and in order of how the battlefield transpired! In the show, the battle is seen in various pieces and out of order as flashbacks by one of the main characters, James Fraser, while he is lying on the battlefield, severely injured.
Culloden Battlefield
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. In barely 40 minutes of fighting, the massed army of Bonnie Prince Charlie had been slaughtered by government troops (which also contained Scottish clans) led by the Duke of Cumberland.
There was no mercy for the wounded soldiers, many were slaughtered where they had fallen, and those who had managed to flee were hunted down and executed. Bonnie Prince Charlie managed to evade the Government forces, and after five months on the run throughout the Highlands, escaped to Italy via the Isle of Skye, never to return.
Between 1,500 and 2,000 Jacobites were killed or wounded in the battle, while Government losses were lighter with 50 dead and 259 wounded. The aftermath of the battle and subsequent crackdown on Jacobitism was brutal, earning Cumberland the sobriquet Butcher.
The conflict was the last battle fought on British soil.
Culloden is near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands.

Cumha Do Dh`uilleam Siosal lyrics translated to English:
Lament for William Chisholm
Oh young Charles Stewart
Your cause is the reason of my sorrow
You took from me everything I had
In the war on your behalf
I am not mourning cattle and sheep
But my partner
Since I am left alone
With nothing but my shroud
My bright young love
I am torn apart
And although I say it, it is no lie
My joy turned to sorrow
Since you will not return from death
One of your wisdom and understanding
Was not easy to find
And not one stood at Culloden
Of your appearance and bravery
My bright young love

Cut from British movie Culloden 1964.
The Battle of Culloden was the final confrontation of the Jacobite rising of 1745. On 16 April 1746, the Jacobite forces of Charles Edward Stuart were decisively defeated by loyalist troops commanded by William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands.
Queen Anne, the last monarch of the House of Stuart, died in 1714, with no living children. Under the terms of the Act of Settlement 1701, she was succeeded by her second cousin George I of the House of Hanover, who was a descendant of the Stuarts through his maternal grandmother, Elizabeth, a daughter of James VI and I. The Hanoverian victory at Culloden halted the Jacobite intent to overthrow the House of Hanover and restore the House of Stuart to the British throne; Charles Stuart never again tried to challenge Hanoverian power in Great Britain. The conflict was the last pitched battle fought on British soil.
Charles Stuart's Jacobite army consisted largely of Catholics and Scottish Episcopalians – mainly Scots but with a small detachment of Englishmen from the Manchester Regiment. The Jacobites were supported and supplied by the Kingdom of France from Irish and Scots units in French service. A composite battalion of infantry (Irish Picquets), comprising detachments from each of the regiments of the Irish Brigade plus one squadron of Irish in the French army, served at the battle alongside the regiment of Royal Scots (Royal Écossais) raised the previous year to support the Stuart claim. The British Government (Hanoverian loyalist) forces were mostly Protestants – English, along with a significant number of Scottish Lowlanders and Highlanders, a battalion of Ulstermen, and some Hessians from Germany, and Austrians. The quick and bloody battle on Culloden Moor was over in less than an hour, when after an unsuccessful Highland charge against the government lines, the Jacobites were routed and driven from the field.
Between 1,500 and 2,000 Jacobites were killed or wounded in the brief battle. In contrast, only about 300 government soldiers were killed or wounded.
The battle and its aftermath continue to arouse strong feelings: the University of Glasgow awarded the Duke of Cumberland an honorary doctorate, but many modern commentators allege that the aftermath of the battle and subsequent crackdown on Jacobitism were brutal, and earned Cumberland the sobriquet Butcher. Efforts were subsequently made to further integrate the comparatively wild Scottish Highlands into the Kingdom of Great Britain; civil penalties were introduced to weaken Gaelic culture and undermine the Scottish clan system.
Two Men in a Trench: Battle of Culloden
Tony Pollard and Neil Oliver visit the site of the Battle of Culloden. They carry out a full archaeological investigation of the site. The Battle of Culloden illuminates a dynastic rivalry of gigantic proportions. In 1745, Bonnie Prince Charlie stepped into the spotlight. He sailed out of exile, landed on Scottish soil, and, along with his Jacobite supporters, attempted to restore his father and the Stewart line to the British throne, which they'd been kicked off 57 years before. His cousin, William Duke of Cumberland, the youngest son of King George the Second, led a huge government army against him. On April 16th 1746, they met just outside Inverness on Culloden Moor, in the Battle of Culloden, the aftermath of which would reverberate down through centuries.
Chapter VIII - Ghosts of Culloden HD
On 16th April 1746, the final Jacobite Rising came to a brutal head in one of the most harrowing battles in British history. The Battle of Culloden (Scottish Gaelic: Blàr Chùil Lodair).
Jacobite supporters of Charles Edward Stuart, seeking to restore the Stuart monarchy to the British thrones, gathered to fight the Duke of Cumberland's government troops at Culloden (Drumossie Moor). It was the last pitched battle on British soil and, in less than an hour, around 1,500 men were slain – more than 1,000 of them Bonnie Prince Charlie's Jacobites.
