Supposed to be a fine day today - hopefully!
In the morning we went out to the battlefield site - a sad place to be!
 |
| Culloden Moor |
The English, led by the Duke of Cumberland,
 |
| The Duke of Cumberland |
were better armed and a much bigger army than the Jacobites supporting Bonnie Prince Charlie

We wandered up among the tombstones and thought of the awful tragedy that went on there. 1200 Highlanders died in four hours!
 |
| MacGillivray Stone |
 |
| The Well of the dead |
We went up to the big cairn to commemorate what happened there
 |
| The memorial cairn |
and then wandered back passed an old farmers cottage that had been there at the time
 |
| Mary-Ann outside the cottage |
I was actually quite glad to leave the place!
