Battle of Culloden

Loading

From the BBC, this is a re-enactment of the battle in the style “You Are There,” a Walter Cronkite television series from the early 1950’s. A voice-over narration combines with an on-the-spot observer in an effective, and violent, replay of the battle. From Wikipedia: The 1746 Battle of Culloden resulted in the British Army’s destruction of the Scottish Jacobite rising of 1745 and, in the words of the narrator, “tore apart forever the clan system of the Scottish Highlands.”
