The battle of Killiecrankie.
The Pass of Killiecrankie is well known for the Jacobite battle and is also a beautiful part of our country.
There is a friendly welcome by the staff at the Visitor Centre. The staff are very knowledgeable and a credit to the National Trust for Scotland
The Battle of Killiecrankie was fought on the 27th of July 1689. It really was a battle of Scottish Clans.
Clans supporting King James II and troops supporting King William of Orange. Jacobites won but it had very little affect on the full scale war.

Donald MacBean escaped the Jacobites by making a spectacular jump over the River Garry at the spot now known as Soldier's Leap.Well worth a visit.
Thanks for visiting the Battlefields of Scotland
