YouTube airing for The Battle of Culloden

A re-enactment of the last battle to be fought on British soil has been placed on the file sharing website YouTube.

The film aims to provide new insights into the Battle of Culloden, as well as forming the centrepiece of a visitor centre at the site, near Inverness.

The battle, in April 1746, which was led by Bonnie Prince Charlie, marked the end of the Jacobite uprising.

A preview clip of the film posted on YouTube is now set to gain an international audience.

The full version will be a central part of the exhibition at the new  Culloden Battlefield Memorial Project, run by The National Trust for Scotland, when it opens in the late autumn.
