Stop At: Culloden Battlefield Visitor Centre, Culloden Moor IV2 5EU Scotland

Culloden: the location of the final Jacobite Rising. It’s an eerie, flat, tragic landscape that can put the history of Scotland into perspective. The interactive exhibition centre here really brings it all to life.

In less than an hour, around 1,500 men died in this battle. Explore the battlefield and learn how this tragedy came to pass.
