The Battle of Culloden was the final confrontation of the Jacobite rising of 1745. On 16 April 1746, the Jacobite army of Charles Edward Stuart was decisively defeated by a British government force under Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, on Drummossie Moor near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands.
It was the last pitched battle fought on British soil.
Leanach Cottage was originally built in the early 18th century but has seen many changes since then. The traditional thatched cottage was lived in until 1912 but fell into disrepair shortly afterwards.
