Culloden marked the end of clan culture and was the harbinger of the Highland Clearances. It ensured the inevitability of the American Revolution and increased the outpouring of Scots across the globe. It is the only battle that British Army regiments are not permitted to include in their battle honors; the only battle that Bonnie Prince Charlie ever lost; and the only battle that the Duke of Cumberland ever won. Culloden is a battlefield, a graveyard, and an iconic site that draws people from all parts of the world. They bring with them their stories and their father's father's stories--stories of civil war, of love, and even of the supernatural. They are peopled by the second-sighted, by clan chiefs and by others who have kept family secrets for centuries. The battlefield is resonant with past deeds and emotive memories. These tales are offered as a unique record to the power of the place.
