The course of British, European and world history was changed at Culloden on 16 April 1746. It was here that the Jacobite army fought to reclaim the throne of Britain from the Hanoverians for a Stuart king. The British army was equally determined to stop this happening. The ferocious European war had come to Scotland - dividing families and setting clan against clan.
Now, 250 years on, Culloden is still a site that connects us intimately with our past.
The exciting new Culloden Battlefield visitor centre and exhibition opened in December 2007. This fascinating facility allows the whole Culloden story to be told in an innovative and interactive way which appeals to all the family.
Culloden is only a 25 mile drive from the Steading holiday cottage, through the beautiful Morayshire countryside.
