Clan MacTavish Culloden Stone Fund DONATIONS CAN NOW BE MADE ONLINE! Last year we began collecting donations to sponsor a stone for Clan MacTavish at the new Culloden Memorial Walk that opened in April 2008.  We would like to have a nice large stone with the clan badge in place for the Clan Tour to the Gathering 2009 event.  Wouldn't that be wonderful for the members visiting Culloden Moor on July 24!  We have a modest fund established.  More donations are needed to meet our goal.  Donations are tax deductable under charitible contributions.

Battle of Culloden, by David Morier   The Culloden Walk

Perhaps no place in Scotland stirs Scottish Highland hearts as does Culloden Moor Bonnie Prince Charlie's largely Highland army of 5,000 men, out-numbered, exhausted, hungry, and in poor position, were defeated by the forces of the Duke of Cumberland on April 16, 1746.   Stories of the highlanders heroism and courage are legion.  The slaughtered were buried en-mass according to Clan.  Legend says that although heather may carpet Culloden Moor none shall ever grow on the graves of the Clansmen.  And so it is.  A walk on the moor can make the fateful day seem all too real.   Culloden represents a turning point in Scottish history that remains strongly embedded in the psyche of Scots worldwide.
