I love that they keep alive the memory of those brave men who fought for their land, their clans and their freedom. Such a hard loss for so many, but they live on in the hearts of the Scots.

One of my 8th great grandfathers was Angus Archibald McDonald 1702-1746 died at the Battle on Culloden Moor. A 7th great grandfather, Angus McDonald fought as a lieutenant under the command of Charles Edward Stuart in the Battle of Culloden. He escaped Scotland for the Colony of Virginia in 1746 at the age of 18 after being charged with treason. During the American Revolutionary War he was appointed by George Washington as a lieutenant colonel in command of Virginia revolutionary militia forces. I am grateful for their sacrifices, but saddened by how much violence they had to endure in their lives.

Your surname is Armenian no? I've traveled there. Karabakh as well in the early 90's. Highlander spirit was evident in Nargorno Karabakh, it was everywhere.Great people, culture and history. "for all those who shed their own blood & lives to save what's theirs" Yes indeed. Much to be proud of if you are Armenian.

Thank god we will soon be free from Westminster. We can finally repay the dept we owe those who died for our cause. The cause of ending the 1707 act of union.

I went to Culloden a couple of years ago and started off being unimpressed before I went. It"s and open field. Once there, it is quite dramatic and one gets the feeling of the souls that died there. Being exactly as it was is important. My relatives left Scotland the year before the battle and I have wondered about the circumstances that led to them leaving. Strongly recommend visiting the site.

My father Ian Charles Cargill Graham wrote a book "Colonists from Scotland, Emigration to North America 1707-1783," and it gives a lot of clarity about how people came to US from Scottish Highlands.

I know exactly what you mean about the atmosphere there. I've been there twice, once when I was 12 and again when I was 22. There was no visitor centre then either or a decent path to walk on, something which may have added to the 'genuineness' of the place, but even although on both occasions the weather was warm and sunny you couldn't escape the powerful cold feelings of death and tragedy. The only other place I've felt this is in Glencoe, yet the first time I went there I was too young to know anything about the massacre which took place there in 1692.

Aye - We are with you Bonnie Lass. I live in Australia - but when I see the Cairns marking the mass graves where our beautiful ancestors sleep - I am brought to my knees and tears roll down my cheeks. May the Creator bless these men who were lead to their deaths by a man they believed in emphatically - And may the great halls of Heaven echo with their names so precious.

These ‘Gallant’ men had just been chased across Northern Briton where they had raped and pillaged on their way to remove the Protestant King of Britain and install a Catholic King in London, it had nothing to do with Independence. the Jacobites had English, Irish and French among their numbers, the British army had English Scottish, Irish and Welsh among theirs, it was not a fight between the Scottish and the English as some like to claim, it was a fight for who led Britain, a Protestant or a Catholic.

+AlmightyMan01 Was wondering about that myself, actually. Never been to the site, but I think that there probably aren't as many graves for those ones because ones who fought alongside government troops didn't incur as many losses as the Jacobites did. It's also possible that those graves might be isolated and mixed....

Very few government troops (many from Scottish clans opposing Charlie) died. The jacobites were massacred (including women & children) not only here but through out the Highlands. This was the beginning of what nowadays would be called 'ethnic cleansing'.
