Culloden: a sombre anniversary
With the anniversary tomorrow, I felt a need to remember.
Here is an interesting article about the evolution of the field itself since that dark day. https://cullodenbattlefield.wordpres...270-years-ago/
Rev'd Father Bill White: Mostly retired Parish Priest & former Elementary Headmaster. Lover of God, dogs, most people, joy, tradition, humour & clarity. Legion Padre, theologian, teacher, philosopher, linguist, encourager of hearts & souls & a firm believer in dignity, decency, & duty. A proud Canadian Sinclair with solid Welsh and other heritage.

I'm overlooking the field as I type (will be there tomorrow) and it's cold and snowing , much like the day itself. A clash of military cultures that was only going to end one way given the ground, tactics and diferent in weaponry. It's the long term outcome for the Gaelic culture that was so dreadful and one which we are the poorer for today.

We visited on a cold, windy, rainy November day. The weather seemed to provide the perfect setting for our ramble around the battlefield. It was definitely a sobering day.
