DESCRIPTION:The Battle of Culloden on 16th April 1746 was the last set pie
 ce battle fought on British soil.  It saw the end of the last military att
 empt by the Jacobites to reinstate the Stuarts on the throne of Great Brit
 ain.  It also provided the Hanoverian succession with a much needed defini
 tive victory over the Jacobite movement\, which had evaded them and their 
 predecessors since the Glorious Revolution of 1688.  \n\nSince 1746\, the 
 battle has come to be viewed as a watershed in Scottish history.  The army
 ’s behaviour and actions immediately following Culloden and in the month
 s afterwards are now seen as acts of oppression.  The policies to prevent 
 further rebellions amongst the independent minded Highlanders in the years
  after 1746 are now blamed for ending the clan way of life.  \n\nUsing con
 temporary theology\, comparisons of campaigns and memorials\, this paper w
 ill examine how far these assumptions are true\, how much they have been i
 nfluenced by subsequent events and whether the soldiers of the British arm
 y deserve to be called ‘More Devils than Men’.\n
