Hi Bob and Jenny, my wife and myself were at the Culloden caravan site about 3 years ago, we didn't go to the battle site as it was tipping down nearly every day however, i wish we had now after watching your video. Well done and an excellent job.
I went in the 60s and found it very moving, so much so that I've not been back and was a bit hesitant about watching but thank you very much for this - a good job of getting over to others the complexities of the crown, religious differences and clan loyalties. My family are Frasers.
Thank you so much for the walk-through and reading of what is left of the writing on the faded memorial stones of the various clans that fought here. You made the battlefield up close and personal for me. Great job!
Just wanted to say you did a lovely job of this, I am from Inverness and so many folk don't realise it's a battle for the crown and religion. I think the only thing you missed was the devastating effect this battle had because the UK government took the opportunity to destroy the Highland way of life by making tartan and bagpipes illegal - after the battle Highlanders were persecuted regardless of which side they supported
Thanks, we have a follow up video on Fort George, which shows the length the government went to suppressing the Highland and uprising. The guide in the visitors centre was very good, talking about the causes and effects of the uprising.
I found your Chanel thru travel trolls and have sure been enjoying these Scotland videos. I’m from Wisconsin and have vacationed in Scotland for the last five years. Had one planned for this year as well, but COVID happened. So far I have been to most of the places you are visiting, I am enjoying the revisit.
Once again a captavating video, well done to you both. I hope your enjoying your tour of Scotland and I'm looking forward to the next episode. Take care and stay safe.
I never new that so much history was involved in the battle, and a lot of politics even in those days, great channel and videos, never stop, thank you, Colin.
Well worth a visit, I was there with my sister and friends last yr. It’s very atmospheric especially if you visit on a dull day with the weather much as it would have been at the time. By the way the Loch Ness visitors centre is also worth a visit, it used to be very touristy and trashy. Now it has an excellent scientifically based exhibition about some of the underwater scientific surveys and finding of the Loch leaving you to make up your own mind about Nessie’s existence - or not😏 It was nice to catch up with you yesterday, all the best to Jenny.
It's a very sobering experience when you have walked round the museum then you come to the cinema battle and it gives you a sense of how it must have felt for the clans on that day . The after events were even more horrendous for the people in the Highlands.
Unfortunately we couldn't go into the information centre last year as it was a really hot day and we had the dog with us, also the queue was so long. So we went around the battle field. We hope to go back one day as we sadly no longer have our dog but we will be able to go inside. Very informative video thank you
Bob , if you get a chance to watch some of the battles in the Series Outlander , with Sam Heughan and Catriona Balfe if give. You an excellent feel for how deverstating the battle of Cullodean was for the Scots and the Jacobites x
Did you find Prince Charlies stone and Cumberlands stones i was there in the 70s we could never find Charlies back then there was forestry covering much of the site and by the cottage, there was a burn with a sign which told of the burn running with the blood of the fallen absolutely fascinating site we do still have a lilliput lane model of the original cottage we bought there from the cottage museum as was thank you for sharing this many memories for me take you both an area I know very well since my parents had caravans in Nairn where the Jacobites marched from
@@BobEarnshawMoHo yes there was a stone for Cumberland and one for the bonnie prince too tho as I said iv never been able to find it I just wondered since it's been quite some years since iv been to Culloden and seeing your vlog I thought id ask
hi bob great video,,i am sure theres some Scottish blood in you? ,i remember watching brave heart in the old cinema in southport with a English couple i couldn't look at them during the film because of what the happened ,,there ,,my clan originated in Inverness so i am told ,,fraser hope the weathers better there its pouring back in souithport ,,
Apparently the money on the headstones is left by people related to the fallen, it's not a donation as such but the denomination of the coins denotes how close the person placing it there is to the soldiers. I discovered this after visiting the chinook crash site memorial on the Mull of Kintyre.
Hi guys I watch a lot of your videos, and really enjoy them. Today’s is good. Here’s an absolute treat to watch on TH-cam about the battle hope you both enjoy th-cam.com/video/TW8bhB5oxQI/w-d-xo.html

Great video Bob and lots of info, we are really interested in all this so thanks for the tour round, looked like you enjoyed it as much as we did!
Yes we did, pity we couldn't film anything in the centre, but I understand. A great day out.

It is much appreciated; the time and effort you have expended in producing this very interesting video. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
With most of my family coming from Inverness and Dingwall, I have never visited Culloden but I sure will now! Very interesting video👍👍👍
Thanks!
Beautiful scenery. Really appreciate how helpful this tour has been for us considering a visit to Scotland next year. 🤞🏻
Consider no more, do it, you won’t regret it. 😊
Fascinating history. Very enjoyable.
Thanks
Once again a captavating video, well done to you both. I hope your enjoying your tour of Scotland and I'm looking forward to the next episode. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks a lot, will do.
Thanks for sharing!!! That's another one for the ever growing list!! 😊😊
Brings tears to my eyes watching this thanks
I love going to places like this and learning the history. I think we all know the basic story, but there is so more to it
It's definitely worth a visit.
I never new that so much history was involved in the battle, and a lot of politics even in those days, great channel and videos, never stop, thank you, Colin.
I was wondering what had happened to the little cottage as I went in there with my mum and dad many years ago thanks for journey it was interesting 🥂
This looks really interesting.
I can’t wait to watch the video now.😀

Thanks, was nice to see you again. Might have to have a look at the Loch Ness centre next time then.
It's a very sobering experience when you have walked round the museum then you come to the cinema battle and it gives you a sense of how it must have felt for the clans on that day . The after events were even more horrendous for the people in the Highlands.
Yes the cinema experience was quite frightening, especially when a lot of people were in there (not this time though)
Nice one guys thanks .kev
Very interesting, love those old stones! 🏴
Very interesting bob 😊👍

Looking forward to watching Bob👍 wow uploaded an hour early 👍
Yes, TH-cam always seems to get it wrong when our clocks change!
Bob , if you get a chance to watch some of the battles in the Series Outlander , with Sam Heughan and Catriona Balfe if give. You an excellent feel for how deverstating the battle of Cullodean was for the Scots and the Jacobites x
Yes, we watched the first few series, I lost interest when they ended up in the US, but that's where a lot of the Highlanders ended up I guess.
Very interesting and a very sad place
Brilliant video and you will find some of the clans are in Canada Nova Scotia
Did you find Prince Charlies stone and Cumberlands stones i was there in the 70s we could never find Charlies back then there was forestry covering much of the site and by the cottage, there was a burn with a sign which told of the burn running with the blood of the fallen absolutely fascinating site we do still have a lilliput lane model of the original cottage we bought there from the cottage museum as was thank you for sharing this many memories for me take you both an area I know very well since my parents had caravans in Nairn where the Jacobites marched from
Sorry no, didn't know there was a stone for Bonnie Prince Charlie! We only walked the front lines though.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo yes there was a stone for Cumberland and one for the bonnie prince too tho as I said iv never been able to find it I just wondered since it's been quite some years since iv been to Culloden and seeing your vlog I thought id ask
Interesting. Thanks 👍💙❤️

My great grandad was from Aberdeen.
@@BobEarnshawMoHo no kidding my grandad was from aberdeen ,,watson street its a small world ,,
Interesting visit. What a shame the forestry has prevented that archeology. Pete & Kaz

Thanks for the information.
Listening later I think I heard your wife say about the Frasers of Outlander x
I have been there
☺️
The highlands are now a man made wilderness, it started on this day.
Just remembered that’s where we met the family from USA who worshipped “The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster”
Yes, I was trying remember what they worshipped!
So interesting are all your videos, may I ask are you both ex teachers ?
Thanks no we weren't, but we did train our customers and write manuals.
So what’s changed? 🏴
Well we're not murdering each other on a battlefield I suppose.
Hi guys I watch a lot of your videos, and really enjoy them.
Today’s is good. Here’s an absolute treat to watch on TH-cam about the battle hope you both enjoy
