With characters like Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora MacDonald, key moments like Prestonpans and Culloden, and dire consequences for highland culture, it’s no mystery that people are still engrossed by the stories of the 1745 Jacobite Uprising.
We've asked Owen Innes from the Scottish History Podcast to give us a rundown of the battle itself, but also its ultimate consequences. In this episode we cover:
- The lead-up to the battle of Culloden
- Whether Bonnie Prince Charlie really deserves our respect
- The highland clearances following Culloden
- Some historical speculation about the Scots winning at Culloden
