#OnThisDay 16 Apr 1746, Culloden became the final chapter of the Jacobite Rising. It was over in under an hour, but the consequences would stretch far beyond the battlefield.

On the moor that day, it wasn’t simply Scotland against England—as often believed—but a brutal reckoning between rival loyalties, with Scots fighting on both sides.

The government line held firm. The Highland charge broke.

What followed wasn’t just defeat—it was erasure: of language, dress, and identity. Culloden didn’t just end a rising. It rewrote a nation.

A Reminiscence on the Field at Culloden

A golden eagle feasts from the fallen fawn Whose tartan spots have not faded With the cooling of summer’s heat

April sleet penetrates peat Musket ball seedlings Ripened in fleeting sun For August’s heather bloom

Seas of violet and skies a smoky shade Targe of memory, splintered but glinting

Glens soon emptied of song Replaced by the clatter Of the wool shearer’s clippers

Treading the bog, stony cairns Line the path Family names etched, for tourists

Scrapbooking Those who took their last breath here

In the hopes It might draw out Their sigh a... little...longer

trying to write this fic about Jamie Mccrimmon but I don't know enough about the areas around Culloden, especially in the 1740's, and I know it's massively inaccurate and I just have no idea how to make it better? Google maps can only do so much. Like what route would they take, what is the landscape, where would they hide, trying to travel away from the english soldiers? Urghhhhh Any book recommendations about culloden?
