BBC News Published The 275th anniversary of Culloden is to be marked in a series of online events. The battle on 16 April 1746 saw forces loyal to Bonnie Prince Charlie defeated by the Duke of Cumberland's government army. Fought near Inverness, it involved the deaths of about 1,600 men - 1,500 of them Jacobites. The events will include talks from archaeologists and historians and a discussion on how the site might look by the time of its 300th anniversary. Culloden - the last pitched battle fought on British soil - is usually marked with a service at the battlefield, but this has not been possible due to the coronavirus pandemic.
