280 years ago today, the 16th April 1746 on Drumossie Moor near Inverness, the Battle of Culloden altered the course of history.
This clash between the Jacobite army, led by Prince Charles Edward Stuart, and the government forces of King George II, led by the Duke of Cumberland, marked the end of the Jacobite rebellion.
Despite their efforts, the Jacobites faced heavy casualties in a brutal clash that lasted less than an hour, forever changing life in the Highlands.
