The Battle of Culloden was fought in Scotland, specifically near Culloden Moor, which is located near Inverness. The battle took place on April 16, 1746. It was a significant confrontation in the Jacobite Rising of 1745, a rebellion led by Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, who sought to restore the exiled Stuart dynasty to the British throne. The battle resulted in a decisive victory for the British government forces, led by the Duke of Cumberland, over the Jacobite army. It marked the end of the Jacobite uprising and had a profound impact on Scottish Highland culture and history.
