Tour Scotland photograph of the Clans MacGillivray, MacLean, MacLachlan, and Athol Highlanders gravestone at Culloden Battlefield, near Inverness, Scotland. The Battle of Culloden, April 16, 1746, was the last military clash ever to be fought on British soil. It was between the forces of the Jacobites, who supported the claim of Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, to the throne; and the Royal Army, which supported the Hanoverian sovereign, George II of Great Britain. Culloden brought the 1745 Jacobite Rising to a close.
