SCOTLAND<br />

The sixteenth of April 1746 was a decisive day in British history – the date of the last<br />

battle fought on British soil, when seven thousand Crown troops swiftly and bloodily<br />

defeated Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Jacobites. The Culloden Battlefield centre is a mustdo<br />

The centre’s natural building materials and sympathetic architecture ensure it<br />

blends in with its environment. The well-crafted displays are presented through vocal<br />

very helpful, doling out advice and directions, and some give historical talks in period<br />
