The Battle of Culloden was fought on Wednesday 16 April 1746. The Prisoners’ Stone is a reminder of where Government troops shot 17 Jacobite prisoners the day after the battle. Whereas, the Lord President’s Seat is dedicated to local laird Duncan Forbes who helped the Government side.
There is also a longer Culloden Battlefield Trail, which explores the whole battlefield area. Look out for the interpretive benches situated around the route.
St Mary’s Well is an older site and a traditional clootie well. A cloot is a rag. It’s said that dipping a cloot in the well and tying it to a tree brings good luck.

You’ll find another clootie well at Munlochy Clootie Well.
