Jacobite Encampment
Step back to a time when the Jacobites roamed the highlands of Scotland during the late 17th and early 18th Centuries.
Their journey began in support of Kings James II and ended with Bonnie Prince Charlie at the Battle of Culloden.
Visit their encampment and see how they lived, dressed and went to war during the times of the 5 Jacobite risings.
