CULLODEN MOOR
AND
STORY OF THE BATTLE.
This history of the Battle of Culloden was first published in 1867 by Peter Anderson. It was revised by his son 55 years later. All I have done is to convert it into HTML format, so I cannot take any credit apart from finding the book in a second hand book shop. Apart from correcting a couple of obvious typos, I have deliberately not updated the slightly old fashioned style of writing.

This web site began as a course for students at the Centre for Lifelong Learning, Newcastle University.
The creation of the site took place under the auspices of the Centre and would have been impossible
without the encouragement of staff and students there.
The site was transferred to The Fifteen (The Northumbrian Jacobite Society) in late 2003 and was revised, corrected and updated by them. The Society will continue to update and improve the site, which will also serve to inform their members of forthcoming events, visits, talks and social activities.

Why Scotland needs Independence
Scotland is trapped in a Union with England (the United Kingdom) that has been, and continues to be, detrimental to Scottish ideals, institutions and her economy. Scotland is a rich country, with vast oil, gas, coal, water, timber and human reserves. Yet, no matter how Scotland votes, it is the English majority that decides who rules in Westminster and controls these resources. The last 16 years of Conservative rule have forced unwanted policies on Scotlan ...

The Jacobites
The Jacobites, and 'Bonnie Prince Charlie' in particular, are often seen in a romantic light. Here I attempt a more objective view.
After the death of Charles II (he of the 'Restoration', Nell Gwynne etc.) his brother, James VII of Scotland and II of England managed to make himself so unpopular by his absolutist behaviour and his open support for Roman Catholicism that the English parliament invited James's son-in-law, William of Orange (aka 'King Billy'), to become Kin ...
