The Battle of Culloden took place on April 16, 1746, near Inverness, Scotland. It was the final confrontation of the Jacobite Rising led by Charles Edward Stuart, also known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie." The battle was fought between the Jacobite forces and the British government army, commanded by Duke of Cumberland. The Jacobites aimed to restore the Stuart monarchy to the British throne. The battle resulted in a decisive victory for the government forces, leading to the end of the Jacobite cause and significant repercussions for the Scottish Highlands, including the suppression of Scottish culture and traditions.
