April 20 The Battle of Culloden (Blàr Chùil Lodair)On Saturday the 18th of April I attended the Annual Culloden Remembrance service held by the Gaelic Society on Culloden Battlefield. The Rev K D MacLeod performed the service in Gaelic and English for those in attendance. There was a lament played on the bagpipes and wreaths were laid around the monument. The Battle of Culloden was fought on Drumossie Moor, outside Inverness, on April 16th, 1746. It was to be the last of the Jacobite uprisings - popular attempts to reinstate the Stuart monarchy to the throne of Great Britian and was led by Charles Edward Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie. There was a good attendance and it was great to see so many youngsters at the event.
