Unfortunately we were only given a scant 30 minutes to walk trough
this very dark history and the end of the Scottish Jacobites as well
as the final battle for Scotland' freedom. 30 minutes is not nearly
enough to feel the power of this battlefield where the Scottish army
were decimated and the survivors massacred by the British government
forces.
I could spend an entire day here.
1600 Jacobite soldiers were killed in a matter of 45 minutes while
only a small amount of English died. The Scots were severely out
numbered, outgunned and their Highlander charge was totally
ineffective on the swampy, flat marsh plain.
It was amazing. I will split the photos up.
Look at the clan headstones. You will find a critical one in the group.
Wow....
