  • Old Leanach Cottage, built early 18th century, on the Culloden Battlefield on Culloden Moor, believed to be the only remaining building from the battle in 1746, in the Highlands of Scotland. The battlefield was the site of the final Jacobite Rising, when Charles Edward Stuart, or Bonnie Prince Charlie, 1720-88, was defeated by loyalist troops led by the Duke of Cumberland on 16th April 1746. The cottage is one of the last surviving examples of the single-storey thatched buildings common in this area. There would have been many agricultural smallholdings here and the cottage originally stood next to a barn and a stable. The site is now run by the National Trust for Scotland.
