A wistful sigh! I will always look back on this trip happily. This is #Culloden Moor - site of the final battle of the Jacobite uprising in 1746. I had the good fortune to be there on a beautiful day despite it being winter.

You understand it? How they returned from Culloden
over the soggy moors aslant, each cap
at the low ebb no new full tide could pardon…
—Iain Crichton Smith, “Culloden and After”

“The country smelt of blood; reeked of it…”
The battle of #Culloden was fought #OTD, 16 April 1746.
John Buchan called FLEMINGTON—Violet Jacob’s novel of the 1745 #Jacobite rising & aftermath—“the best Scots #romantic novel since The Master of Ballantrae”

277 years ago today. The last pitched battle fought on the British mainland saw Jacobite forces under Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) suffer a crushing defeat at the Battle of Culloden, east of Inverness, on 16 April 1746.

Notes on Culloden:

I've never seen such realistic-looking actors and depictions of battles. (Their teeth alone!)
Also amazed by the staccato rhythm of facts presented.
Black and white film, with actors looking into the camera and being interviewed at times.
All in all, it's a short docudrama of the battle, and well-worth seeing in light of contemporary imperial warfare.

892 followers · 1483 posts · Server mastodon.socialFrom the history-learning aspect: I never knew:
-the Clan structure and what brought people to the battle
-the English murder of the wounded survivors
-the post-battle occupation and torment and murder of civilians the English did to Scottish Highlanders. (brought to mind Russia)
-the facts of the preparations for battle. (mind boggling how this happened) So completely lopsided. And "Bonnie Prince Charlie"? 🙄

One of the three ancient Clava Cairns that stand in a line five miles east of Inverness. Dating back some 4,000 years, they are less well known than their near neighbour Culloden battlefield, but every bit as evocative.

How cool #StandingStoneSunday is a thing!
This one is next to the #ClavaCairn beside the #Culloden Battlefield in #Scotland.
Made famous by #DianaGabaldon in her #Outlander series.
(Yes, I do have a picture of my touching the stone… I am absolutely that sad!)

Sometimes the plans we make go awry. And that turns out to be a bloody good thing.
I'm ever so grateful for mislaid plans that led me to live in the Highlands of Scotland, even if briefly.
Blissful walk through Culloden Moor, a place so steeped in the imaginary of the region.
