Culloden Battlefield and Graveyard near Inverness in the Highlands. We visited on the 258th anniversary of the final Jacobean attempt to restore the throne to Scottish rule and break from England.
The battle monument holds the above inscription.
There is an atmosphere of loss and sadness that overlays the green lawns and heather strewn ground. A fleeting feeling that to touch the stones would release a spell cast long ago and sounds of musket fire and tramping feet would once again echo across Culloden Moor.
