The Jacobites line up
This is a modern photograph, taken during the shooting of the film for
the Visitor Centre. Some pupils may identify more closely with photographs
than with drawings or contemporary sketches; however, for some pupils
it may be necessary to stress that this is a photograph of a re-enactment,
rather than of the actual battle.
Pupils can:
- Spot the ‘white cockade’ ribbon in the bonnets of some men
- Discuss the clothes worn by soldiers
- Look at the weapons carried by soldiers; the soldiers shown are carrying muskets, as many if not most - Jacobites did on the day, in addition to their traditional weapons

See also the Finlayson Map. This shows the route of the night march and the battle lines of the Jacobites.
