Relive History on the Culloden Battlefield

CLICK HERE FOR A COMPLETE TOUR ITINERARY

The course of British, European and world history was changed at Culloden on 16 April 1746.  It was at Culloden that the Jacobite army fought to reclaim the throne of Britain from the Hanoverians for a Stuart king.  The British army was equally determined to stop this happening.  The ferocious European war had come to Scotland - dividing families and setting clan against clan.

There are many different stories about the Culloden Battle.Visitors often have their own views on the battle, the events that led up to it and those that flowed from it. Now, 250 years on, Culloden is still a site that connects the Scottish people to their past.

We'll get the chance to relive the events of the Culloden Battle through a unique interactive exhibit as part of our Discover Scotland tour. 

Using interactive characters that witnessed or were involved in the battle and incorporating the latest historical and archaeological evidence it tells the course of events through fresh eyes.

Included within the exhibition's Battle zone is the immersion theater where you can experience first hand what it was like to be in the middle of the action at Culloden and displays of authentic weapons and artifacts found on the battlefield.

A hand held audio device with multi-language dialogue is available to take onto the battlefield to help you further understand the armies' maneuvers and tactics.

Sound plays a key part in the exhibition with Gaelic as the dominant source language. The audio visual content uses the original words, song and music of the men and women who played their part in the fateful events and is delivered in the Gaelic spoken at the time of the battle.

If you're a history buff, this is definitely a place you should have on your bucket list to discover.
