Yesterday we visited Culloden battlefield, where the English troops crushed the Jacobite uprising of ’45. Following this battle the wearing of the kilt and the owning of bagpipes was outlawed. We learned a lot about the various political feelings flowing through the diverse peoples. I’d be happy to fill you in on some of the history I picked up, but right now I’m moving on.
We also paid a quick visit to Brodie Castle. Some of the ceilings had quite impressive plaster work. The kitchen had two huge ovens and some clever things to set in front of the oven to cook things, or warm things, or keep things hot.
