Old Photograph Bonnie Prince Charlie's Ash Tree Culloden Moor Scotland

Old photograph of Bonnie Prince Charlie's Ash tree on the battlefield at Culloden, near Inverness, Scotland. Legend has it that Bonnie Prince Charlie commanded the Battle from this spot. The Battle of Culloden was the last pitched battle fought on British soil. It was fought on 16 April 1746 and saw the Jacobite army of Prince Charles Edward Stuart defeated by the army of the Hanoverian King George II under the leadership of the Duke of Cumberland. The battle put an end to Jacobite hopes of restoring the Stuart dynasty to the British throne.
