Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a Kilt and Sporran and walking amongst daffodils in the walled garden on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Culloden House in Inverness, Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Culloden House is an 18th century Georgian mansion famously known for being the headquarters of Bonnie Prince Charlie before the 1746 Battle of Culloden. The Walled Garden wasbuilt by the Forbes family in the 18th century, this space was originally a functional kitchen garden. Before the current mansion, the site held a 16th century Jacobean castle. Fragments of this original fortified tower remain in the house's structure. The estate was acquired by Duncan Forbes in 1626 from the Mackintosh clan. The Forbes family owned the property for generations, including during the Jacobite Uprisings. Although the owner, Duncan Forbes, was a Hanoverian supporter, Bonnie Prince Charlie requisitioned the house as his battle headquarters for three nights leading up to the Battle of Culloden in April 1746. The original house was partially destroyed by fire in the middle of the 18th century. The present Georgian mansion was rebuilt for Arthur Forbes between 1772 and 1788, possibly influenced by the famous architect Robert Adam. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
