‘It will be there as a memory to our forefathers and a memorial where our children’s children may visit.’
‘The Scottish people have lost so much in terms of their culture, language and heritage; it would be devastating to lose a memorial to those who lost their lives fighting for Scotland (regardless of personal opinions about the battle itself).’
‘It’s a beautiful memorial to all of the fallen from the Battle of 1746.’
‘The memorial at Culloden is EVERY BIT as important as the War Memorial in London ... I know who lies under Culloden – my 5xGreat Grandfather! But I don’t know where. But he IS there! And to disregard his resting place is to him & his comrades a deep dishonour!’
‘I love the memorial clan stones, and many had flowers on them. It still means a lot to our nation.’
‘Culloden is a memorial to the fallen who fought against insurmountable odds for the freedom of our
nation against tyranny.’
