At the Battle of Culloden approximately 1,500-2,000 Jacobite soldiers were killed or wounded in…read moreless than an hour. In contrast, government forces suffered 50 deaths. Just hearing that initial description of the place made it a very somber experience. We had a guided tour of the battlefield that provided additional information and knowledge. There were some highland cows and other cattle on the back fields. They were behind an electric fence at the time of our visit but they were a nice sight to see during this visit.

The Culloden Battlefield was run by the National Trust of Scotland which was a different membership…read morefrom the one we had with Historic Scotland. We opted to book a guided tour of the battlefield which was well worth it with the insights provided by a knowledgeable and outgoing guide. The tour walked out as far as the British Line(red flags) but we later wandered out to the Jacobite Line (blue flags) on our own. Do stay on the gravel paths as the site does contain the remains of those who died in the battle. Another tip, dress warmly for the walk outside as the weather shifted while on the tour and it got quite chilly with some rain. The museum presented both viewpoints on the battle and the two sides throughout which was interesting to see and compare. Photos of the artifacts on displays were not allowed and docents would chase you down or stop you since some items were privately owned and on loan. It was ok to take photos of drawings or placards created by the NTS. Overall a stunning defeat for the Jacobites. Next time we're in Scotland I do want to visit the Battle of Bannockburn site to compare the battle that Scotland won over England.

There were stories, jokes, music, lots of stops for sight-seeing, food recommendations, and more. We really enjoyed the tours and would definitely use them again if/when we're back in Scotland.

Our driver/guide was Kev, and he was awesome. He shared some great history and personal stories, as well as a bit of fiction added in for fun. We had plenty of stops scheduled and because we were all respectful of everyone else's time and schedule, we were able to hit a couple of non-planned stops along the way. Loch Ness, Eilean Donan Castle, Portree, The Quraing, The Water Fall off of Kilt Rock, there were just so many stunning views of this incredible landscape. We were traveling for about hours from start to finish, but it never felt like it. Kev had a great Spotify playlist of some really fantastic music that narrated the trip perfectly when he wasn't. We couldn't have asked for a better last day in Scotland than this one. Thank you Rabbie's and thank you Kev. :)
