Dr Nicola Martin and Students Visit Culloden Battlefield

Dr Nicola Martin and her students braved wild weather to explore Culloden Battlefield

Our Dr Nicola Martin and students from her third year module, 'The Jacobites: Patriots, Rebels or Opportunists?' had a great visit to Culloden Battlefield NTS last weekend. The weather was unpredictable at best with rain, hail and high winds, but it was a very successful trip and the group explored the site, discussing various elements relating to the rising, the battle, and its commemoration.

2026 sees the 280th anniversary of the Battle of Culloden, and Culloden Battlefield NTS is running a series of commemorative events including a talk by our Dr Martin, 'The Highlands and the Forty-Five: The Lesser Known Story' (Sold out). These events range from expert talks, to Scottish music, to shadow puppetry. Find out more about the commemorative events.
