We had a very interactive, informative and fun filled day as we finished off our Jacobites Topic with super visits to Culloden and Fort George. Our tour guides were enthusiastic and loved keeping us all in order! At Culloden ,we got to dress up, try a Highland Charge, be Redcoats on the battlefield , march with our eyes shut and experience the battle in the film room. After lunch we headed to Fort George for a tour to see the gunpowder barrels and weapons, discussed the design of the Fort by looking at a large model, visited the chapel and spent time in the Education Room finding out about a Redcoat’s everyday life. We finished off with a bit of shopping in the Gift Shop!
Many thanks to our helpers and well done to everyone for making the day such fun. It has been a super topic.
Each pupil receives a voucher from Culloden which entitles a paying adult to take two children free of charge.
This looked like a fantastic trip P5. You look terrific in the costumes! And it seems like you had some sunshine. Its great to learn about history and then visit the place it happened! A great finish to the topic.

Looks like a fantastic trip P5 – Culloden Battlefield is one of my favourite places to visit in Inverness. Sounds like you had a great time at both Culloden and Fort George!

This has been a GREAT topic and was a fantastic day out to finnish it off. I hope you all enjoyed and learnt as much as me:). Thank you to Mrs Murray for organising the trip. x
