This was an amazing place! I live in the United States and have previously visited Gettysburg, PA - the site of a major battle during the Civil War. That place is embarassing compared how tourist friendly the Culloden Battlefield is. There are interactive diplays on the inside,a 360 degree theater that shows the battle, when you go outside to tour... more

I stayed in Inverness for a couple of days, and before I went to Inverness I wasn't too sure if I was going to go and see the battlefield. But I'm really glad I went, in fact I think the reason why I wasn't going to go was out of ignorance of what Culloden was about. The visitor center details... more

Their new visitor center is the best I have ever seen anywhere! They do an amazing job informing you about the history with different technologies without it being too confusing. The battlefield hits you emotionally and I love the fact that everyone gets an audio guided tour of the battlefield without extra cost. more

The brand new exhibition center had been open only 6 weeks when my friend and I went to visit. Wow! I have seen more museums and exhibitions then I care to mention and this one was just superb in every way. From the latest technologies demonstrating the battle to good old fashioned guides explaining the battle, I was just continually... more

The new Culloden Battlefield experience has to be one of the best attractions in Scotland. The visitor centre interprets the build up to the battle, the event itself and the aftermath using a mix of multi-media techniques which give both factual information and convey the deepest of emotions connected with this iconic event in Scotland's history. The battelfield tour guide,... more

As always, the Scottish National Trust has done an excellent job of presenting this sacred site. I really enjoyed my visit here. There are two pieces of advice I would give to those who are very interested in the details of Culloden's background: 1) See the movie first. It's short and gives the highlights of why this battlefield is so... more

We've been to Culloden 3 times and are going back in October 2007, hoping the Culloden Walk stone we purchased will have been installed. The National Trust for Scotland has done a remarkable job keeping this site pristine, ie, not "disneyizing" it into an excuse for a gift shop. It feels like hallowed ground, standing quietly, realizing how much came... more

Great way to spend a couple of hours as this place is steeped in history, you can almost hear the clashing of steel and roar of gun fire as you stand on the battlefield itself. The film in the visitor centre is informative & we really enjoyed the "living history" bit where a soldier describes what it was like on... more

Well done film and display explains the history. Hard to imagine this life! The history presented here came up again and again as we visited other historic sites around the country. more

We visited Culloden in May, 2006, using our British Heritage Pass (well recommended- saved us over A$1000 each in entrances on our 30 day drive). The Scottish "warrior", complete with kilt & weapon, who gave the talk was well worth coming for alone (amusing & very informative). He explained all the armour & weapons to us, & how it was... more
