Culloden. The battle of Culloden (16 April 1746) brought the Jacobite cause, to restore the House of Stuart to the throne of Great Britain, to a decisive defeat.
The Jacobites, the majority of the Highland Scots, supported the claim of James Francis Edward Stuart ("The Old Pretender") to the throne. The aftermath of the battle was brutal and earned the victorious Duke of Cumberland, son of the King George II, the nickname "Butcher" Cumberland. Today a visitor centre is located near the the site of the battle, with the intention of preserving the battlefield. On the stones are the names of clans that helped the construction of the Memorial.
