Culloden +263 years

[Highlander31]

The battle of Culloden was fought in 1746. That fact that several posting had it taking place in the wrong year (1745) indicates, at least to me, that for many people the Jacobite rebellion is more about 21st century emotion, rather than an historical understanding or appreciation of 18th century Scottish Jacobism.

In my case, it was a typo, which I have corrected.

Regarding:

"...21st century emotion, rather than an historical understanding or appreciation of 18th century Scottish Jacobism."

I can only say, I have observed that history has shown if one does not study its lessons (and learn from those lessons,) a repeat of those lessons will be taught. Unfortunately, it appears the farther we (as a people) are from the original lessons, the less likely it is we will understand the true meaning of the lesson.

Just my opinion,...do with it as you will.

Ahem, forgive me, but there are many patriotic Scots who do remember April 16th 1746, a few of us are heading to Culloden at the weekend to commemorate the battle and the sad defeat of the Jacobite cause.
I of course will be taking my camera to record the event and post a few pics on here.

Sorry Jock but here's one Cameron that remembers

I have no problem with that Chris, that is your choice and many will agree with you. However, there are many "patriotic Scots" (your words)who think otherwise. I look forward to your pictures with eager anticipation.

Please raise a glass in the memory of all Scots who fought and fell that day be they government or Jacobite.
SLAINTE my friends

I raised a bottle of Belhaven last night for this very reason.
