I think that if shows spark an interest in something you didn’t know about before, then it’s not a bad thing. On the other hand, the tourists that only go to visit the Clan Fraser marker … well, that’s totally different. and i definitely have stronger feelings about that.

Hi Kevin, it is a very somber experience indeed. I’m happy to hear that you’ve been there before. I think it’s really important to honor places like this.

Very somber indeed. I always have mixed feelings about visiting places like this. On the one hand, I want to because I know I will learn so much more and it evokes some reflection. On the other hand, it is very, very sad.

Thank you for reading, Ryan.

Hi Lisa, I’m glad you learned something from this post. I don’t pretend to know everything about it, but it is definitely an important point in Scottish history. Thank you for reading!

I didn’t know much about Culloden until I watched Outlander! Historical fiction is great for driving interest into a period of history that most people may not know. It really is a shame about the Clan Fraser marker though. If you get a chance to visit Scotland, I’d highly recommend a trip here. Thanks for reading, Cynthia.

I will have to look for that documentary you’re referring to. I’m trying to learn as much about Scottish history as I can while I am here, so if you have any other recommendations, I’m open to them. Thank you so much for reading, Jane!

Thanks for reading, Miri! I have to admit I’ve never read the Outlander books, but generally I do like historical dramas. Specifically because it does bring awareness to certain (oft-forgotten) aspects of history!
