  • Battle of Culloden

    Battle of Culloden

    Battle of Culloden The Battle of Culloden (Scottish Gaelic: Blàr Chùil Lodair) was the final confrontation of the 1745 Jacobite Rising. On 16 April 1746, the Jacobite forces of Charles Edward Stuart fought loyalist troops commanded by William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. The Hanoverian victory at Culloden decisively halted the Jacobite intent to overthrow the House of Hanover and restore the House of Stuart to the British throne; Charles Stuart never mounted any further attempts to challenge Hanoverian power in Great Britain. Between 1,500 and 2,000 Jacobites were killed or wounded in the brief battle. The aftermath of the battle and subsequent crackdown on Jacobitism was brutal, earning Cumberland the sobriquet "Butcher". Efforts were subsequently taken to further integrate the comparatively wild Highlands into the Kingdom of Great Britain; civil penalties were introduced to weaken Gaelic culture and destroy the Scottish clan system. On the 16th April, 1746, one of the two Macdonald’s of Sleat, Capt. Donald Roy Macdonald, took part in the battle of Culloden. In the retreat he twice saw Alexander of Keppoch fall to the ground wounded. After the second fall Keppoch looked up at Donald Roy and said: "O God, have mercy upon me. Donald do the best for yourself, for I am gone." Donald Roy then left him and in leaving the field he received a musket wound which went in at the sole of the left foot and out at the buckle. During the eight week period he was hiding in three caves, wounded, alone and in pain, in wrote the following Latin Laments - now translated into English, revealing his thoughts and feelings - a vivid reflection of this highlander in context of post Culloden 1746.

Erection of 4 semi detached houses and 4 flats with associated parking and upgrading of existing access road. Recommendation - APPROVE Ward : 06 - Wester Ross, Strathpeffer And Lochalsh Development category : Local Development Pre-determination hearing : Not required Reason referred to Committee : Council Interest (joint applicant). 1. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT 1.1 The application seeks full planning permission for the demolition of disused agricultural buildings (previously used in the 1970’s as a Dairy), and their replacement with 8 residential units, to be built in three blocks running in a line from east to west across the site. The eastern block (identified as Plot 1) would consist of four flats, the middle and western blocks (Plots 2 and 3 respectively) would both consist of two semi-detached houses. 1.2 The applicant sought advice via their agent prior to the submission of the application as to whether the scheme might be considered as a non-material variation of a previous consent (07/01251/FULRC) for a similar housing development on the site granted by Committee in April 2009. Given the degree of change involved (as described in paragraph 8.3 below) the agent was advised that a new planning application would be necessary. 1.3 The site is accessed from the unclassified Balmacara to Plockton single track road.

By the sunshine sweetly kist, Murmuring waves, and echoing caves? Then go to the Isle of Mist." Sheriff Nicolson. DA 15 To MACLEOD OF MACLEOD, C.M.G. Dear MacLeod, It is fitting that I should dedicate this book to you. You have been interested in its making and in its publica- tion, and how fiattering that is to an author s vanity / And what chief is there who is so beloved of his clansmen all over the world as you, or whose fiame is such a household word in dear old Skye as is yours ? A book about Skye should recognise these things, and so I inscribe your name on this page. Your Sincere Friend, THE A UTHOR. 8G54S7 EXILED FROM SKYE. The sun shines on the ocean, And the heavens are bhie and high, But the clouds hang- grey and lowering O'er the misty Isle of Skye. I hear the blue-bird singing, And the starling's mellow cry, But t4eve the peewit's screaming In the distant Isle of Skye.
