The battle field has been preserved, along with the stone walls that the Jacobite forces breached to attack the Prince Charlie from the rear.
Thankfully Gretel's ancestors, the McKay's, fought for the government.

Bonnie Prince Charlie
The last land battle on British soil was the 'Battle of Culloden', on the 16th April 1746. Bonnie Prince Charlie fought the Government Jacobites in a bloody battle in which most of his army of 6,000 men fell, or were butchered in the weeks that followed.
The battle field has been preserved, along with the stone walls that the Jacobite forces breached to attack the Prince Charlie from the rear.
Thankfully Gretel's ancestors, the McKay's, fought for the government.
