走出城堡,我们来到了因佛内斯小镇旁的Culloden古战场,这里因18世纪的一场大型宗教内战而得名。真正的战役在这沙场上仅仅持续了1小时之久,充满了暴力血腥,而如今早已散尽硝烟,成为了一片花草组成的海洋。

It's no fun to be a group tourist destination. If Turkey learns from it, there are probably 1000 ancient battlefields~

Info

The old battlefield of Culloden was the last major battle of the James uprising in the middle of the 18th century. One side of the battle was supported by many tribes in Scotland, hoping to restore the stauerian James party. The other was the Hanover Dynasty, which ruled England at that time. The battle ended in the defeat of the James party. After this battle, the James party was unable to start another big battle, and the Hanover Dynasty consolidated its rule. Today's carloden battlefield tour center makes people feel the atmosphere of the battlefield through sound and light.

It's a good environment. You can understand the contradiction XD between Scotland and the English born from ancient times. Many people are walking their dogs. One of the dogs is still interested in us. Pick up the ball for us and ask us to throw it.

In the hinterland of the remote Scottish Highlands, there is a gloomy plain, in which the grass is luxuriant and the withered and yellow reeds are swaying in the wind. This is the ruins of the ancient battlefield of Culloden in England. When I came to the ruins of the ancient battle field of London, I could not see the fire and smoke of the war, nor hear the fighting and shouting, but I could still feel the intensity and cruelty of the war 300 years ago. Shortly after the end of the campaign, the British government launched a brutal cleansing of the Scottish Highlands, and the private army was cancelled. Until today, hundreds of years later, the highlands of sugra still haven't recovered from that trauma, and many farmers who have lost their land have been forced to cross the ocean, to the United States, Australia and other immigrants to make a living, which is also the reason why most American presidents have sugra blood system in history. Tickets are required to visit this scenic spot. Take bus A1 to the ancient battlefield of Culloden. Today's carloden battlefield tour center makes people feel the atmosphere of the battlefield through sound and light.

It's a very open area, because of the gloomy weather and sparse population in Scotland, it has a kind of special feeling of desolation

It's a very vast place. The design of the exhibition hall is very modern. The story is wonderful. The scenery is also very good. It's worth visiting

I can feel the momentum of the Culloden battlefield at that time. I think it's very cruel. Fortunately, it wasn't born in that era

Culloden battlefield is the last land battle in Britain more than 200 years ago. It is the most tragic and humiliating battle in Scottish history. This battlefield is now being declared a world heritage site.
