Call for Battle of Culloden red coat memorial

A military historian has called for a memorial to soldiers who fought the Jacobites at the Battle of Culloden.

Trevor Royle said the government army has no equivalent to the markers on the battlefield which recall their foes.

Writing in the National Trust for Scotland's magazine, he said little was known of those who served in the red coat regiments on 16 April 1746.

The site where fallen government soldiers were buried was only recently identified by archaeologists.
