Bonnie Prince Charlie

Developer Springfield Properties has secured outline planning permission to build on farmland near Culloden House, which was Bonnie Prince Charlie's battlefield headquarters.

A few days before the battle, Bonnie Prince Charlie commandeered Culloden House as his lodgings and HQ.

Charles Edward Stuart, better known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, led a rising in 1745 to win back the thrones of Britain for his father, the exiled James VIII.

The area is named after Bonnie Prince Charlie who had sought shelter on the peninsula while fleeing British government troops after the Battle of Culloden in 1746.

Historians have discovered a bullet hole at a Grade A listed house near Stirling, which they believe is proof of an assassination attempt against Bonnie Prince Charlie.
