Archaeologists in Scotland have excavated over 100 weapon projectiles, including cannon shot and lead musket balls from one of the country’s most famous battlefields. The Battle of CullodenIn July 1745, Charles Stuart arrived in Scotland seeking to return his father to the British throne. Stuart’s attempt to take the throne was ultimately doomed, and the Battle of Culloden proved his final attempt at the throne. On April 16, 1746, he and upwards of 6,000 fighters met around 7,000 British loyalists near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. Experts believe the prior surveys likely failed because the boggy landscape was first forested in the 19th century, then recently cleared.
