Archaeologists Uncover Undetonated Shell from Battle of Culloden
Archaeologists have made a significant discovery at the site of the Battle of Culloden, the bloodiest battle in Scottish history. A mortar shell, which never detonated, was found intact at the battlefield near Inverness. This shell, believed to have been fired by government forces during the battle on April 16, 1746, provides new insights into the deployment and actions of the forces involved. The Battle of Culloden marked the end of the Jacobite uprising led by Charles Edward Stuart, known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, against King George II's troops.
