The Battle of Culloden, fought on April 16, 1746, was the final confrontation of the Jacobite Rising. It took place on Culloden Moor in the Scottish Highlands between the forces of Bonnie Prince Charlie, leading the Jacobite army, and the British government troops led by the Duke of Cumberland. The Jacobites, aiming to restore the Stuart dynasty to the British throne, were decisively defeated in under an hour. The battle marked the end of the Jacobite cause and had lasting consequences for Scotland, including the suppression of Highland culture and clan systems.
