    New Culloden Visitor Centre

    I thought those of you here with an interest in the old great kilt and Jacobitism might find these interesting.
    Both myself and my father are involved in this, unfortuanately wearing the red coats and breeches instead of our usual kilts.

    Excellent. I've been to Culloden at Easter, 2004, and have a few pictures from that visit on my website. A very poignant place,

    and

    from the Scottish Borders.

    Awesome!

    I visited the Culloden visitor centre and the battlefield last summer. I was so impressed I forgot to take any pictures.

    Btw...the guided battlefield tour is a must!

    Those are great links thanks for them, I would love to hear more about your recreation of the battle

    Welcome, and thanks for the link.
    I plan on going to visit Culloden at least once more before I move over to America.

    If any are interested, there are a handful of images from the 14 April commemoration at Culloden located HERE.

    I would post them here, but the images are not my own.

    Thanks for the link, Mike. There was something similar going on at Culloden when I was there on Easter Sunday 2004.
