Heritage campaigners face a fresh battle for Culloden after it emerged decision to block an application to build on the historic battlefield has been appealed. Campaigners had breathed a sigh of relief earlier this month when Highland Council rejected a plan to convert a stone farm building on the south west side of the historic moor into a modern dwelling house. The farmhouse - Culchunaig Steading - is within both the Inventory of Historic Battlefields area and Culloden Muir Conservation Area, and has previously been subject to a failed planning bid. But it has emerged that the proposal has now been appealed, and will go to the Scottish Government's planning reporter for a final decision, potentially overruling the local authority's decision.
