@scotland: #OnThisDay 16 Apr 1746, Culloden became the final chapter of the Jacobite Rising. It was over in under an hour, but the consequences would stretch far beyond the battlefield. On the moor that day, it wasn’t simply Scotland against England—as often believed—but a brutal reckoning between rival loyalties, with Scots fighting on both sides. The government line held firm. The Highland charge broke. What followed wasn’t just defeat—it was erasure: of language, dress, and identity. Culloden didn’t just end a rising. It rewrote a nation. @National Trust for Scotland #Scotland #Culloden #CullodenBattlefield #Jacobite #NationalTrustForScotland #VisitInverness
