head of Loch Shiel and has a special place in the history of Scotland being the starting point of the 1745 Jacobite Rising.

The rising, after early successes, was crushed by the massacre of the tired, and largely unfed Highlanders at the Battle of Culloden Moor where no mercy was shown by the infamous Duke of Cumberland, still known as "The Butcher". |
