“The view of the Jacobites as quasi-colonial primitives is persistent […] In the Year of the Prince, the last centrally Scottish army mounted serious military opposition to the British government. The seriousness of Jacobitism is ignored because the power of the threat undermines the story of British unity.”—Prof Murray Pittock on “Whig History” & Culloden

Culloden
A panorama image of Culloden Moor, site of the 1746 battle between Scotland and England
I’m walking on Culloden Moor, the site of the last pitched battle in the United Kingdom, which took place in April 1746. Today, this is a peaceful place, a memorial site, and there are just gentle breezes and birdsong to experience.But as you go round, you will see the markers of the graves of those who fell in the battle. About 1,500 Jacobite soldiers lie buried here, most of them, according to their clan. There are stones marking the positions of the different Scottish clans. I’ve stopped at the stone of the Fraser clan. Four hundred men stood here on April the 16th, 1746.
Battle lines and landmarksThe red flags on the battlefield represent the positions of the Government Army, the English Army. Blue flags represent the positions of the Scottish regiments. I’m actually on the Battlefield Tour, which is a path going around the entire site of the battle. And once we’re finished here, we’ll go inside to the Visitor Centre, which describes the history of the events before, during, and after the Battle of Culloden.
Inside the Culloden Visitor Centre there is a museum. It takes us on a journey through the historic events, beginning with the Scottish Uprising of 1745.
Culloden Visitor CentreThis began when Prince Charles Edward Stuart landed on the Scottish west coast in July that year. Charles’ father was the son of King James II of England and Ireland, known as James VII in Scotland. James, a Catholic, was forced into exile in 1690. He was then replaced by a Dutchman, William of Orange. William was not first in line but he was Protestant. In those days, that was all that mattered.
By 1707, a political union between Scotland and England had been arranged. This union was deeply unpopular among the common Scots.
The historic Scottish parliament was closed. Scots had lost control of their national sovereignty, while no change. Its parliament simply continued with a new name. The few Scots who now sat in the English parliament at Westminster, had little or no say in how the new state of ‘Great Britain’ was ruled.
Far from being a union of two equal nations, England had taken control of Scotland. A Scottish attempt to end the union was made in the House of Lords in 1713. This attempt failed by just four votes. Unhappiness with the union led to violent Scottish uprisings in 1715 and 1719. And so, the rising in 1745 was another attempt to reclaim Scottish independence and restore the rightful Scottish king.
All of these uprisings had European support, mainly from France and Spain. They were called the Jacobite uprisings, Jacobus is the Latin name for James. And so, a Jacobite was the name given to anyone loyal to the exiled King James II and his descendents.
The Culloden exhibition tells the story from both the Scottish and English sides. There are also objects and archaeological discoveries from the time on display. The museum uses technology to help re-create the battle itself. A 360-degree battle immersion theatre puts you into the heart of the fighting. It offers a very moving experience from a soldier’s perspective.
The inscription on the plaque at the bottom of the Culloden Memorial Cairn. The memorial cairn at Culloden Battlefield was built by a local man (Duncan Forbes of Culloden) in 1881. It ís dedicated to the memory of the fallen JacobitesArchaeological finds from the battlefield have given us a better understanding about events on the 16th of April 1746. These include musket balls, buckles and a small Scottish pewter cross that was likely dropped during the battle.
The English victory at Culloden ended the uprising. The brutal fighting lasted less than an hour. There were relatively few English casualties.
However, Scots killed on the day of this Anglo-Scottish conflict, about 1,500, were few compared to those massacred in the days and weeks after. The Scottish historian, Professor Murray Pittock, has described the horrors carried out by the British or Government Army.
No one was spared. Surrendering soldiers, the wounded on the battlefield, and civilians were murdered in an orgy of violence. Crops were burned and people were left to starve. Other Scots were driven from their land or sent into exile across the Atlantic.
The English commander, the Duke of Cumberland, became known as ‘Butcher Cumberland’.
Today we would describe these events as genocide and ëethnic cleansing. It was a dark era in Scottish history that has never been forgotten...
