The battle of Culloden outside Inverness in 1746 was the last to be fought on British soil.
This documentary reconstruction tells the story of not only the battle, but of its aftermath.

Derek Ware remembers Culloden: Culloden, based on John Prebble's book of the same name and directed by Peter Watkins, was a documentary reconstruction of the last battle to be fought in Britain.The battle scenes, though shot on a shoe-string budget, were particularly effective. 'Battle co-ordinator' was actor, stuntman and fight director Derek Ware, who remembers: 'Fifteen thousand soldiers fought at Culloden. Before we started filming Peter Watkins called me in and told me: "I can only afford 25 Redcoat uniforms and 15 Highland costumes." And that was all we used. The 'soldiers' were a mixed bunch including plasterers, a clergyman, a bus conductor, a solicitor and a teacher and it was my job to make a couple of armies out of them. I had to calm them down because they went wild when they got into a fight and I was afraid of real injuries. Actually, I was practically everybody who got killed - including the Grenadier who had his face slashed open in what was to become a classic 'horror' shot - and I spent most of the time changing hats, wigs and berets to try and make myself look different. Yet we managed to film an incredibly accurate reconstruction of the battle - with just one cannon, too. It was an object lesson in what can be achieved with limited resources.'
