I visited Culloden a couple months ago for the second time and saw the new(ish) visitor centre. They have a white room with no chairs in and they project film onto the walls with Jacobites on one side and Hanovarians on the other so that you are right in the middle of the action.<br /><br />I'm not sure if it is this film which they use but it certainly was the first thing which came to mind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10613053893491721429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1639346543752636107.post-66395766284714819122010-05-30T06:20:04.871+09:002010-05-30T06:20:04.871+09:00Hi Robert.

I am old enough to have seen it when it was first shown on BBC and it must have been one of the things that inspired me to read about and later wargame the same period. I now have a DVD of the film and have watched it several times. It never fails to impress. Watkins did an amazing job with a tiny amateur cast. Absolutely brilliant.<br /><br />My own interests have narrowed down to Fontenoy and I am currently collecting the new Jacdaw range for my French army.<br /><br />Always nice to meet another WAS enthusiast.<br /><br />JohnJohn Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591264539878321434noreply@blogger.com
