It is unusual for Scottish History Online to
promote any commercial organisation in such a way as this but the Battle
of Culloden (1746) and the aftermath by Peter Watkins is exceptional!!
Filmed in a documentary style manner and broadcast
by the BBC in December 1964 SHO feel, it portrays a fairly accurate
account of the conflict. The narration in the way of a news report by a
television crew, gives an added feel and good historical account of the
battle and the following genocide committed in the Highlands by British
government troops.
