Passed through Culloden many a time. It is still to this day, an eerie, boding place. You CAN feel the heavy atmosphere, the utter silence of the place. The video to go with the music is very apt. Thank you. To all the Clansmen who fell that fateful day, My own Clan is Cameron, you will never be forgotten. We may not take to arms in our fight for Independence, rest assured it will happen. Thig ar latha
I am a Scot living on England so thank you for this video. I've visited Culloden twice - many years apart and its great to see them restoring the battlefield to how it would have looked in 1745. May all the souls rest in peace.
I also had ancestors that died for the Jacobite cause. Culloden is a great museum with a very moving re-enactment. It is haunting and poignant. 2000 Highlanders died that day and the rest were hunted down and executed. It was a military disaster and poor leadership for the Jacobites. As with the Irish the British were ruthless in quelling any dissent. The Scots were robbed of their lands and many fled to the New World. May all who died there rest in peace.
On our tour we visited this sacred battlefield and were humbled as we found that our ancestors fought in this battle, I recently discovered that through my DNA I have Scottish lines, I'm so proud as my father loved this land he never laid eyes on.
I never have forget the feeling i had on my first visit there, i hope i can go soon again. Today the 16th April 2012, a remember day, it will never be forget whats happend then and also later after the lost battle. Im thinking in honour to all this brave and proudly scottish men, woman and childrens.
I visited Culloden a few years ago and I felt the eeriness that haunts this place.It was a stupid young man`s decision to fight in the wrong place ,using the wrong tactics, that caused this disaster ,and the outright butchery that followed ! My own Clansmen fell along with the other "Flowers of our Country " I hope we never forget them .They were Patriots of their Country and are buried where they fell ! Alba Gu Brach .
+James Cameron Your information is wrong. He was not "stupid" and it was not his choice. You are using information which was put out as propaganda by Cumberland and has been taught as history since. Suggest you consult Dr. Christopher Duffy's history which tells what really happened.
Stuart was an imbecile ,riding up and down the lines for 22 minutes while Highlanders were mutilated with cannonade! Legs shattered as cannonballs skidded across the Marsh! Bastich!
😅🤣😅 OK, so my full name is Colin (Cailean in Gaelic), Edward Fraser MacKenzie, and my brother is called Duncan....do I have copyright???? 😆😅🤣 Jokes!!! Crazy Highlander here!
Thank you so much for making this beautiful video of Culloden. It is especially appreciated by those of us who have not yet made it to the Highlands to see it for ourselves.
@BillDFC A generation of highland warriors were destroyed in one way or another. And if you consider the lasting effect it had on the clans, even to this day, it's so much more than numbers.
This day was a watershed. The clan system was ended as was the Stuart cause. The Highland way of life and it's language and culture died on the field of Drummosie. The anglo saxon had conquered the gael.
I hear and understand you my friend, we lost SO much! But some of us are still here and in our own quiet, subtle ways still live and breathe the way of the Gael, the way of the Highlander. Saor Alba Gu Brath.
MOVED BY MY VISIT TO THE BATTLEFIELD, THE FUTILITY OF VANITY, what for to replace a german king with an italian one , the incompetence choosing culloden for a highland charge is mind blowing
I remember seeing a film (in back & white) about Culloden on the BBC when I was young, must have been around '64, I've never seen it since. I do believe that it was very graphic for it's time.
What can you say about this place? It is infused with profound sadness born from very deep loss; no birdsong brings relief from the dreadful things that happened here - the soul and human spirit die in such places as this.
the whole thing was a sad affair, ending 175 years of civil wars, rebellion, and bloodshed in the name of stuart, many who quite rightly condemn the "butcher" cumberland for the slaughter that day , conveniently forget that charles had also given the order that no quarter was to be allowed, they were bad times for britain in general, but particulary sad for scotland
No as the there was many a Scot fighting against the Jacobite cause and many a highland clan member. The Jacobite rebellion was not Scotland vs England but a British civil war it's just a shame the English Jacobite's pussied out when the Jacobite's marched through England no lies about an army in London could have stopped the clans then.
ThatFatPlumber for me it was in great detail war against england those men in the gov army fought for the crown of london and all the rest a reaction to 100's of years of oppression in the name of the crown land,money,farming,military
And yet, had the Stewarts been restored to the throne, one has to wonder if their old doctrine of the divine right of kings would've come back into being. That would have set back the right of the people to have a voice and a share in the government. That said, the draconian response, the Clearances, was overreaction, I think. To destroy the social fabric of Scotland so viciously was an unconscionable act, and so very cynical on the part of the victorious side. Yet even that in the long run had a sort of left-handed benefit: I doubt anyone would accuse Scots of being subservient today, bless 'em! And speaking for the "colonies", I have to say that we were truly blessed to have such a rich infusion of Scottish blood and character into what would become our own national fabric. Culloden is such a moving and poignant place to this day. Earth and stone alike seem to house the great sadness of what happened there, and you can still feel it--even if you were not born in Scotland, save for perhaps your heart and soul...

peace to both sides that fought, may my ancestors in the 64th foot rest in peace too.
It brings a tear to the eye. Many a brave man died that day.

Beautifully photographed and presented portrait of the battlefield. Very moving. Thank you.

Thanks for remembering today is the anniversary!
Beautiful and very moving. Thanks for sharing. ♥
This moves me so much. My ancestors ended up in the Carolinas, after this.

Thanks, it was blowing a gale, but this added to the bleak battlefield atmosphere.

YES! You can see the link below! Haunting and disgusting! PLEASE WATCH - From a Highlander!!! 😁
A haunting tale of such massacre on a grand scale, nice empathetic music.
Went for a cycle up here yesterday. Beautiful day for it.

@ghough12 Not really a massacre on a grand scale. There has been much,much worse in this land in terms of numbers killed in battle.

Oyster Hunter is an English troll, he always comes out with crap to annoy Scots .
In the red coats side there were a lot of lowland Scots in it. They practice for months at the city of Aberdeen before the battle
