Picture flashback: Evocative image of Culloden Battlefield highlights tragic end of Jacobite rising
This brooding image of Culloden Battlefield captures the dark and emotive atmosphere of the site where the 1745 Jacobite Rising came to a tragic end.
In less than an hour, around 1300 men were slain – about 1,250 of them Jacobites. It was the last pitched battle on British soil.
This powerful photograph was taken in February 2020 by Highland News & Media photographer Gary Anthony and forms part of an online retrospective series, Behind The Lens: The Legacy of a Highland news photographer.
