What you'll see
A bleak, open moor with red and blue flags marking where the two armies stood, stones for the clans' graves, and a visitor centre with an exhibition and a room where the battle surrounds you on four walls.
A brief history
On 16 April 1746 the Jacobite army of Charles Edward Stuart was crushed here in under an hour, the last pitched battle fought on British soil. Highland life was changed for good in the years after.
