The Battle of Culloden took place on 16 April 1746 near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. An exhausted Jacobite army under Charles Edward Stuart (‘Bonnie Prince Charlie’) was decisively defeated by the British government force under the Duke of Cumberland. The lost battle and the brutal reprisals that followed were effectively the end of the Jacobite rising of 1745. In this map, the Frasers are listed in the lozenge on the right at number 5 and you can see where they lined up for battle if you follow the lower line showing ‘The Flight of the Highlanders’. They are in the Highlanders’ front line five up from the bottom.
