Culloden Moor & Visitor Centre

Culloden Moor, scene of the last major battle fought on mainland Britain, is one of the most iconic and emotive sites in Scotland. More than 200,000 people visit Culloden Moor every year, attracted by romantic tales of the Jacobite cause and to visit a battlefield which is known throughout the world for its haunting atmosphere.

The turf and stone dykes which played a crucial part in the battle have been reconstructed on their original site to return the battlefield to its original 1746 state. The site also includes the restored Leanach Cottage, which originally survived the battle around it.

The Culloden Moor Visitor Centre has a fascinating Jacobite exhibition with weapons and artefacts from the period including a complement of replica Jacobite weaponry - targe, dirk and broadswords. The visitor centre relives the atmosphere of the day with a Living History Presentation - "A Day Like No Other" - which runs throughout the summer.
