How is Culloden and Prince Charles looked on and taught in Scotland?
All
I am reading "How the Scots Invented the Modern World" by Arthur Herman and he talks about the Jacobite uprising, Prince Charlie and Culloden.
He puts a pretty fair spin, it would seem, faulting both Prince Charlie for not really having a plan and how the English behaved after the battle towards the Highlanders.
My question is mainly for those of you in Scotland, How is this time period taught and looked at from your (the Scottish) standpoint. Do you get all the reasons things happened or do you get taught a purely "English" version of the story.
I'm sure the English don't teach how great the American Revolution was for them to their students.
Thank you,
I am constantly in search of knowledge.
