The Battle of Culloden, 16th April 1746 by David Rowlands. The Kings Regiment positioned behind the Leanach dyke, opens a deadly flanking fire on the Highlanders of the Atholl Brigade, on the right wing of the Jacobite Army, under the command of Colonel William Barrell, played a significant role on the British Royal Army's left flank. They were positioned on rising ground, protected by a dyke, and their fire inflicted heavy casualties on the charging Highlanders of the Atholl Brigade. The regiment suffered considerable losses, with Lieutenant Colonel Robert Rich losing a hand and nearly losing his other arm. |
Glencoe, 1692 by John Blake Mcdonald (PC) The Glencoe Massacre, occurring on February 13, 1692, involved the brutal killing of around 38 members of the MacDonald clan by government troops in the Scottish Highlands, following their late submission of an oath of allegiance. |
The Charge of the Highlanders at the Battle of Prestonpans, by Mark Churms. Battle of Prestonpans. Bonnie Prince Charlie, after landing at Glenfinnan, in his bid to gain the British Throne. Lord George Murray with an army of 2,000 Jacobites marched southward where they were met at Prestonpans by General Sir John Cope and a Royal army of 3,000 men On the 21st September, the Jacobites charged the government troops and routed them. Hundreds of Government troops were killed or wounded and over 1,000 were captured, with the Jacobite losses less than 150. With this victory Charles Edward Stuart and the Jacobite army marched southwards into England capturing the towns of Carlisle, Penrith, Lancaster and Preston and getting as far as Nottingham before lack of supplies and new recruits forced him to head back to Scotland. Through the early morning Autumn mist, Highlanders of the Appin Regiment abandon their plaids and rush headlong across fields of stubble into the stunned ranks of Jonny Cope's army. The force sent by the Crown to destroy the rebellion and capture the Pretender is itself utterly routed in a matter of minutes. The first major engagement of the uprising is a swift and complete victory for the Prince's men. Except for the garrisons of Edinburgh, Stirling, Fort William and Fort Augustus, Scotland is now under the control of the Jacobites. |
Battle of Culloden by Mark Churms. Icy rain adds its misery to the bitter conflict on Drumossie Moor. In the shadow of the Black Isle, two English ships on the waters of the Moray Firth, await the outcome of the decisive battle. Pounded by Cumberlands gunners and raked by steady musketry, the Princes brave men can make no headway. Although the Irish and French regulars refuse to give ground, the Jacobite lines gradually disintegrate. Tired, cold and hungry men flea past Culloden House for the relative safety of Inverness. On the Scottish right the Argyll Militia, supported by Hawleys Dragoons, tear down the walls of the Culwiniac and Culchunaig enclosures in an outflanking attack. Avochies men offer some resistance but Major Gillies McBean stands alone on the breach. He cuts down more than a dozen Argylls, including Lord Robert Kerr, who lies mortally wounded, but his foes are too many. The hero eventually falls to a vicious cut to the forehead, his thigh bone is also broken. Despite the cries of a mounted officer to save that brave man, the major is ruthlessly bayonetted, his back against the wall. The victory is complete and nothing more can be done. In the distance, the Young Pretender is forced to abandon the field and Scotlands hope of claiming the British Throne. |

Raising the Standard at Glenfinnan, by Mark Churms. Supported by the Highland Chiefs with twelve hundred highlanders present. Prince Charles Edward Stuart raised his standard at Glenfinnan on the 19th August 1745. This was the start of the Forty Five which would end with the defeat of the Jacobite Army on Drumossie Moor at the battle of Culloden 16th April 1746. |
Battle of Culloden by Brian Palmer. The Jacobite charge which broke through the ranks of Barrells regiment is counter charged by four British regiments including the 48th Legoniers regiment. |
The Jacobite Piper by Mark Churms. After the unsuccessful march on London, Prince Charlie retreats to the safety of Scotland. The army regroups and more men come to join the cause, including soldiers from France. However King Georges men are never far away. As dark, winter rain clouds draw in over the high ground above the town of Falkirk, the Jacobite army assembles to face Hang-man Hawleys dragoons and infantry. A piper plays on while the men of Ogilvys Regiment, in the second line, load and make ready their weapons for the coming assault. Bonnie Prince Charlie (so called for his nature, not his looks) rides down the ranks followed by Lord Elcho and his Life Guards. Red coated Irish Pickets, regulars from France, are also in reserve. |
Culloden the Aftermath by Brian Wood. This is my personal interpretation of the events immediately following the Battle of Culloden. There is no intention to depict either the shores of LochNam-Uarnh, the Highlands, glens or castles with geographic accuracy. Instead I have tried to portray the scenes following the first 3 days of the battle, the escape of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the destruction and brutality wreaked upon the Highlands and the real sufferers, women and the innocent. 1 . The battlefield scene represents the time from plundering and butchering the wounded to when the ordinary people were allowed on to collect their dead. In the main central figure I have tried to impart a feeling of stoic dignity in the face of an uncertain future 2. The top section represents the form of Prince Charles. Despite the flames and carnage of Culloden, he is firmly supported in the hand of his Jacobite faithful to his safe exile aboard a French warship. Being mindfull that Clan tartans were not in common usage as uniforms of war at the time, only one tartan has been represented as such, that of the Royal Stewart, and that only to signify Charles claim to the thrones of England and Scotland. With his leaving, the sett fades as does he and his ambition. The burning, smouldering tartans signify the proscription of tartans, kilts, plaids etc by Westminster to discourage further rebellion. 3. With the Clans and their regiments broken, neither the natural barrier of the Highlands nor the great chiefs castles would prevent the poison of Culloden seeping into every glen or the fury of Cumberlands dragoons plundering at will. This is represented in the lower section. Armed with sword, manacles and the noose, these, Cumberlands most pitiless embarked on an orgy of murder, rape and pillage. The abyss of prison or exile awaited those suspected of Jacobite sympathies, the gallows for more serious resistance. Battles are fought and won, or lost, as all battles are, but Cullodens aftermath changed Scottish Highland society forever, ushering in a long period of suffering. This painting is my humble attempt to interpret that tragic period. |
Culloden, End of the 45 by Mike Shaw. With the Highland charge across the wide expanse of Culloden Moor easily repelled by the government army and the enemy advancing to the right. The Pretender, Prince Charles, hangs his head in concession as the realisation dawns on the Jacobite troops that defeat has been thrust upon them by their own command. |
Battle of Falkirk by Chris Collingwood. The Jacobite army led by Lord George Murray having fired their first devastating volley, cast down their muskets and pistols to engage Cobhams Dragoons in fierce close quarter combat. |
The Last Highland Charge by Richard Moore. On the 16th April 1746, the Jacobites mounted their last Highland Charge. Wet, hungry and weary, the Jacobites charged into the guns and bayonets of the Duke of Cumberlands army. Raked with cannon fire, rifle shot and grapeshot the survivors closed in. This painting shows the charge as the Redcoats would have seen it, and features Jacobites from the left wing, the Atholl Brigade, the Camerons and the Stuarts of Appin. |
Disbanded by John Pettie. A Highlander after the Jacobite uprising of 1745-1746, after the Battle of Culloden. |
Broadsword Charge on Brown Bess by Chris Collingwood. Camerons and Stuarts attack the centre and flank of Barrells Regiment (4th Foot) at the Battle of Culloden. |
A Royal Fugitive by Allan Stewart (PC) After the defeat of the Jacobite forces at the Battle of Culloden in April 1746, Bonnie Prince Charles, the pretender to the Scottish throne, faced the threat of capture. Over the next several months, he embarked on a perilous journey through the Scottish Highlands, evading British troops and relying on loyal supporters for assistance. Disguised and living in hiding he eventually managed to escape to France in September 1746 aboard a French ship, successfully evading capture and preserving his life despite the loss of his cause. |
