Marking the spot of the last major battle on British soil, the wild moor at Culloden is the resting place of 1,500 Jacobite and 50 government soldiers who fought and died here in 1746. Today, you can walk along the battle lines and see the graves of the soldiers beside the memorial cairn in the centre of the battlefield.
The battlefield is a powerfully emotive place and the National Trust for Scotland has cared for Culloden Moor since 1937. But it’s coming increasingly under threat from developers and we’re working hard to protect and share the history of this special place. As a charity, we rely on voluntary income to do this and a donation to Culloden’s Fighting Fund will help us conserve and protect the moor for future generations.
