Price's Regiment 1746 .
Price’s Regiment 1746.
The Battle of Culloden, 16 April 1746 , still excites controversy after all this time , especially among Scots worldwide.
It marked the end of sixty years of attempts by the supporters of the Jacobite succession to overthrow the Government in London , and the twilight of the separate, Gaelic tribal culture of the Scottish Highlands .
It was as nasty as any other battle , if mercifully short , but the aftermath has been interpreted by Jacobite sympathisers as a kind of genocide .
But to understand what happened, rather than falling back on the myths of prejudice , I recommend some extensive reading , and the best book on the battle is undoubtedly “ Like Hungry Wolves “ by Stuart Reid, Crowood Press.
It covers the whole war , and gives by far the best analysis that has yet been written.
There are also two Osprey books by Mr.Reid , covering in great detail the two armies engaged , which demolish most of the mythology , particularly about the Jacobite Army .
