Culloden battle finds could be unearthed by school build

[Jim Webster]

Less a case of history being written by the victors, than history being bitched about by the victims.

If that's a reference to Culloden, I find that incredibly offensive. My own (unverified) family history includes two supposedly killed after the battle.

If you read the accounts of local historians etc who lived through and described the behaviour of the armies of the '15 and the '45 as they passed through what is now Cumbria you'd realise that there were other opinions at the time

I hadn't been aware of episodes where the Jacobites hunted down and killed wounded opponents in numbers?

Side effect of now winning. They missed out on the full range of 18th century warfare

Talking of 18th century warfare, we are suffering a bit of scope creep with this topic.  We do need post-medieval stuff to link back to lessons about ancient and medieval warfare ideally.  Just a hint.  Anyway, back to pounding the beat.

Now winning, presumably 'Not winning' - Falkirk Muir and Prestonpans?  - anyway - back to AncMed subjects.
