Culloden

Clava Cairns on the south side of the River Nairn have nothing to do with the battle. The mounds of stone surrounded by stone rings probably date from ca. 1800-1500 B.C. and are among the best preserved of their kind in Scotland.

Donations and sales at a nominal sum enabled The National Trust for Scotland to acquire this battlefield site between 1937 and 1959. Bit by bit it has been restored to the state it was in during the 18th century. The Visitor Center has been extended more than once in order to meet the requirements of the many tourists who visit this historic site. The audio-visual presentation portrays "Bonnie Prince Charlie" as an irresponsible adventurer rather than as a romantic hero.
