Culloden Battlefield: A silent walk (for respect) past the sad row of Clan Graves

A direct ancestor of mine fought at Culloden, of which I am proud, but it was a foolish endeavor in the end and lead to a rather ridiculous and unnecessary attempt at eradicating Scottish culture Maybe don't be a douche yourself, if you have pride for your ancestors, great, if not, don't mock others for appreciation of their fallen ancestors.

It's not just about the Scots losses they were on both sides ! there were lots of other nationalities involved as well

[@ultimatetoptrumps]

I visited there in Sept 2019 and it was cold and a nasty rain. To think that the Jacobites were hungry, tired from the failed night march the night before, demoralised with knowing that many had gone AWOL and then to see the smaller yet more powerful force ahead of them must have been terrible. About the graves, many of the fallen were just left where they lay and 'dumped' into mass graves. Actual graves are non-existent. What they have done to the battlefield today is incredibly respectful and chillingly terrible at the same time. A worthwhile visit if your in the area. Wonderful video!

By The Grace of God The Hanoverians took The Throne rather than self serving Prince Charlie. The Scots were mad to the bone to have given that selfish dandy so much sacrifice.

[@jimmclean9312]

A tragic and inevitable end to Charles Edwards Stuarts bid for the throne of England. This was Scotlands civil war. Most of the Highlanders in the Jacobite army were tenant farmers forced into service by their Clan chiefs ,the last feudal army in Britain. They were fighting , not for their country , but for an ambitious political adventurer intent on regaining the English throne by using the Scottish Catholics to gain a foothold, and hoping for a general uprising, which failed to materialize. More Scots fought against the Jacobites than for them, not only the Protestant Clans, but a good portion of the government army were Scotmen. So much romantic nonsense is written about the Jacobites and " Bonny" prince Charlie ! After the battle he ran away, back to France and eventually died an alcoholic ,in Rome

[@ArizonaRed]

Fascinating. Gotta wonder why they needed Charlie at all.

[@velapalim6281]

[@colinmackenzie6954]

“Bonnie price” Charlie was a coward 3000 men made it to the rendezvous at Ruthven barracks after the battle intent on fighting on only to be told “every man seek his own safety in the best way he can". He then fucked off to France When France wanted to support he claim some years later he shat it and refused

[@OutlandishJourneys]

[@ianmiller5027]

It should be remembered that there were more Scots in Cumberlands army than in Charles forces. In many ways this was aScottish civil war. The Scots of the lowlands wanted an end to the clan system. They wanted an end to to the clans raids on the South. They wanted to secure their religion. I don’t think Charlie was so bonnie. He was quick to desert them and afterwords never had a kind word to say about them.

[@Alan_Mac]

I doubt the lowlanders cared about the clans. However, the idea of an absolutist Stuart monarch was ridiculous and why the Jacobites supported this is mystifying.

[@jimwands]

Ian Miller the Scots in the English army would have been shot if they refused to fight.

[@Sabhail_ar_Alba]

Not according to Murray Pittock of Glasgow university, probably Scotland's best contemporary historian and nor was It a civil war. Three of the fourteen Redcoat regiments were Scottish.

[@ianmiller5027]

@@Sabhail_ar_Alba There were at least 5 Scottish militas present although they were not involved directly in the battle.

[@georgecampbell5281]

Not true. Scots Hanoverians were on very friendly terms with their Jacobite counterparts and knew that few of them were interested in a rising. But the older chiefs had given a personal oath of allegiance to King James II. Knowing that, the Hanoverians pressed Walpole to take action to ensure the chiefs were released from their oaths (as some already had been) but he screwed up and was regarded as a bigger enemy to Scots Hanoverians than the Jacobites by dropping them into a war that could have been avoided. One thing that has never been known and which I recently stumbled on by accident was that some prominent Jacobites had altered their wills to appoint their Hanoverian friends as executors. The Hanoverian Lord Loudoun accepted the surrender of weapons by my Jacobite family after Culloden and pleaded with his superiors to be merciful as my people had been forced "out" in the '45. He knew this was not true, but he was just trying to pour oil on troubled waters. My 4x great grandfather was a young boy on that occasion and some 30 years later, as an officer in the Scots Guards, when he was killed in the American War of Independence, it was his commanding officer, the same Lord Loudoun, who was first to put his hand in his pocket for the widow's pension

[@Alistair2348]

They weren't all clansmen, there were lowlanders, irish, french, spanish even some english (the Manchester regiment). At the time they didn't have a clan tartan (that was a Victorian invention) so they couldnt be identified by clan. It was just mass graves and when one was full they dug another. As for the government side they had clans, the Grants, the Munroes, Campbell's and four regiments were scottish. It wasnt even called culloden. It was called Drumossie Moor. Cullodin is the modern name. They tell you about the barbarity of the government soldiers but don't tell you that at the battle of Falkirk the jacobites cut the throats of the government prisoners and wounded. The romantic version has drowned out the gruesome facts of reality.

[@mr31337]

Well said. Nor is the brutal clan system ever mentioned, many so-called 'jacobites' were forced to fight by their landlords - they were certainly not all willing volunteers.

Many ill informed people think that Culloden was a battle between the Scottish and the English, it certainly was not. The conflict was between those who were loyal to the Protestant King of the United Kingdom, i.e Scotland and England and those who wanted the Catholic James as King. Fighting for the Government were The English, Welsh and Scottish, including several Scottish clans. The Jacobites (meaning the supporters of the Catholic Stewart claim to the throat of the United Kingdom were some Scottish clans, plus English, Irish, Welsh and French Catholics. The Battle was therefore not, as is wrongly claimed by Scottish Nationalists between The Scottish and the English but between Catholic Jacobites and Protestants Loyalists.

The ground was actually not the best place to have a battle. Would have been better if the Prince's army had fought them in the Highlands, where the Highland charge could have possibly averted a cannonade. Much like Killiecrankie. In addition, his men were hungry, and starved for sleep, after having marched all night to try and catch the redcoats asleep. But by the time they reached the redcoats, there were already awake and stirring. So, that plan was shot. This battle should have never taken place, not at Culloden. The Prince was not a General, and I have read where one of his most trusted Officers, was actually a spy for the English King. Hungry, and tired men, do not fare well in times of war. But, the question is, was the Prince counseled into attacking at Culloden, or was this his plan and his plan alone? Those who bare my surname sleep below the Carin bearing their Clan of Affiliation, Stewart of Appin. And I suppose in the aftermath, those who were not sent to America, or Australia, were later to leave in the wake of the Clearances. We have excelled outside of Scotland's borders, not because we necessarily desired to leave, but because of the blood that flows within our veins...as they say, the blood is strong...

His words have often become my own. I will check out the book (I am not even on Kindle yet-Mr Technophobe likes the feel of pigment stained woodpulp and turning pages. Smells nicer too, how sensual!). I have enjoyed a couple of visits to Skye and have some treasured photo prints of walks there, including (mist(!) shrouded Old Man of Storr). "Speak" to you later.

So much rubbish is stated about this event. It was not a fight between Scotland and England. The Jacobites were not fighting for Scottish independence they were rebels fighting the British state of which Scotland was a part. There were more Scots on the government side than on the Jacobite, prince Charles intended to take the throne of Britain in London and reintroduce catholicism. The massacre that followed was the result of the appalling incompetence, stupidity and arrogance of Charles and the man he put in charge. Charles on seeing things were not going well, then decided to ride off with the money.

[@Sabhail_ar_Alba]

Not according to Murray Pittock Scotland's best contemporary historian - he's written a book explaining why. Most clansmen weren't even catholic - old Locheil and Cameron's were protestants - but the post battle atrocities committed mainly by the Kingston Regiment of Nottingham were brutal and have been recorded. Hundreds of wounded slain in the post battle bloodbath, hundreds of women and children murdered on the Inverness road, thousands sent to Carlisle for imprisonment, deportation or execution..

@@Sabhail_ar_Alba are there any good videos on this matter you would recommend?

Laura: Well isnt that the Scots way To make money from misery e.g Highland Clearances

[@johnscott3714]

@@jacktattis143 The difference there being that it was landowners and certain clan chiefs making money from the misery of the Highland Clearances not the 'ordinary' men and women.

The plaque says the Jacobites fought for Scotland Not true. The Jacobites were unionists who's aim was taking the throne in London and ruling the UK

And Charlie died an old man in his bed.

[@renamcleod90]

Very moving. I think it.s about time Scotland built an appropriate tribe to all clans involved. Also, I hope the flag in the background is not a Union Jack. .

[@ronreway5079]

Scotland should also memorialize the brave government Scots who defeated Charlie. After all, move Scots fought against Charlie than for him.
