Culloden

Culloden refers to the Battle of Culloden, fought on April 16, 1746, near Inverness in Scotland. It was the final confrontation of the Jacobite rising, where forces loyal to Charles Edward Stuart (the Young Pretender) aimed to restore his family's rule over Britain. The battle resulted in a decisive victory for British government troops, leading to the collapse of the Jacobite cause. This defeat marked a turning point in Scottish history, leading to harsh repercussions for the Scottish Highland culture and the end of clan traditions, as well as significant political changes within Britain.
