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, who sought to restore the Stuart monarchy, and the British government troops commanded by the Duke of Cumberland. The battle resulted in a decisive victory for the British forces, leading to the collapse of the Jacobite cause. Following the defeat, the British government implemented harsh measures against the Scottish clans, significantly impacting Scottish culture and society in the years that followed.
