Curriculum for excellence
These programmes are designed with the four capacities in mind. It is also intended to provide an enjoyable experience to the young people participating. Choosing to come to Culloden battlefield will add depth to your chosen topic.

Activities will encourage young people to:

• actively participate
• engage in critical thinking
• contextualize knowledge
• interpret evidence and explore primary sources
• compare and contrast societies
• compare aspects of peoples lives in the past with their own
• discover how past events or actions have shaped Scottish society
• to discuss the impact the battle had on the lives of people at that time

These programmes were developed to complement level 2 in the Social studies (People, past events and societies) of the Curriculum for excellence - however it can be adapted to suit your needs.
