Culloden Moor (Drumossie/Drummossie Moor)

Culloden Moor (also spelled Drumossie or Drummossie Moor in some sources) is the location of the Battle of Culloden, fought on 16 April 1746 on moorland overlooking Inverness. Contemporary and later histories describe the engagement as a decisive defeat for the Jacobite forces led by Prince Charles Edward Stuart at the hands of a better-supplied Hanoverian army commanded by the Duke of Cumberland; sources characterize it as the bloodiest of the Jacobite battles and the last major battle of that series of conflicts. The battlefield has been the subject of historical surveys and commemorative imagery, including a dedicated chapter in a compendium of England–Scotland battles and a 20th-century postcard view captioned "The Battlefield, Culloden moor, Inverness." The provided research notes and sources are historical in nature and do not report paranormal phenomena, named spirits, or folklore associated with haunting at the site.
