This bagpiper was playing so beautifully and soulfully at the Culloden Battlefield in Culloden, Scotland near Inverness. It is a very moving historical site and very well done. The view from the roof garden enables you to see the large field where the battle was fought and imagine thousands of men running at each other, many armed with only a knife or a sword and a shield.
The Battle of Culloden was the bloody conclusion to the Jacobite rising of 1745, and a battle that changed Scotland forever. The massacre, on 16 April 1746, marked the end of Bonnie Prince Charlie’s dreams of reclaiming the throne for the Stuart dynasty. It also saw the end of Highland ways of life that had existed for centuries, as Government forces brutally subjugated Jacobite sympathizers in the aftermath.
