    3. A Queen of German descent, shown around by an ENGLISHMAN!!! The ghosts were out and about that night!!! Eileen >Queen visit is Culloden 'first' >Dr Pollard, of the University of Glasgow's Centre for Battlefield Archaeology, said: "The Queen's visit is an important landmark for the history of Culloden battlefield. The visit should be regarded as an honour to all of those who died in the battle and its aftermath "Bonnie Prince Charlie, grandson of James VII and II who was deposed in 1688, and the Duke of Cumberland, second son of George II, were both present during the battle, leading the opposing armies. "The visit should be regarded as an honour to all of those who died in the battle and its aftermath and represents a welcome contribution to long healing process which has followed the events of 16 April 1746."
