Culloden Moor, April 16th, 1746

On this day, 268 years ago the Highland Clans were decimated at the battle of Culloden Moor. Possibly the darkest day in the history of Scotland. Horrors were to follow. In honour of the dead and the displaced there will be no posts on any other topic today.
Across the broad Culloden Moor
The thistles are in bloom
The skylark sings so boldly
From the heather and the broom.
