Hauntings

The Highlander Who Whispers 'Defeated'

Culloden Battlefield, Culloden Moor

Since the 1746 battle

The battle left about 1,500 Jacobite casualties in under an hour, and the site is treated as a grave. The ghost stories are repeated widely but none of the sources names a witness or a date. Some of the story may come from the novels and television series set at Culloden, which brought many visitors and made the site a focus for supernatural tales.

Please treat the site with respect: the clan graves are war graves.

The battlefield is managed by the National Trust for Scotland; the moor is open to walkers, with paid entry for the visitor centre.
