Culloden Moor is one of the most sombre and moving historic sites in Scotland, the place where on 16 April 1746 the final Jacobite Rising was crushed by Government forces in 68 minutes, ending the Stuart claim to the British throne and leading to the systematic destruction of Highland culture that followed. The National Trust for Scotland's visitor centre tells the story with extraordinary sensitivity, and the moorland battlefield with its clan grave markers remains deeply atmospheric. Hotels in Inverness provide easy access to Culloden — just 8 kilometres from the city centre — as part of an exploration of the Highlands' most dramatic period of history.
