Those interested in the Battle of Culloden may want to head up to the visitor centre at the battlefiled next weekend (8-9 May). An event uncovering the battle and its far-flung consequences is being held at the National Trust-run location in Scotland. Visitors will explore the events leading up to the battle between the Highlanders and Hanoverian army in 1746, and learn about the effects it had on Scotland.
There will be displays of armour and weapons, story-telling for children, and guided tours of the battlefield. It is open on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th May, with a £3 charge for battlefield tours. Call 0844 4933259 for details.
