I agree!
Also, if you are in the area, visit Clava Cairns, stone age tombs (east of the battlefield) and
Cawdor Castle (north-east of the battlefield)

Managed to get up there just over a year ago, only to find the battlefield centre was closed because of strong wind! Ah well, one day.

Fantastic work mate.
I did Culloden in 15mm many years ago, trying to get all the correct regiments. Figures are long gone now but I really enjoyed the project.
What rules are you using? I can't remember what we used back in the day, but it was a set that was written for the '45.

I also did the 45 several years ago, but gave up halfway through the Government forces, having painted all the Scots.
Sharp Practice or a version of Rebels and Patriots for large skirmishes or Black Powder for the larger encounters. This is another period which I would like to run a full campaign on, as I think it lends itself well to this approach.
-
Excellent painting on great figures.
I think it helps keep enthusiasm high for a project if there is a really great and complete set of figures designed specifically for the period/war being collected.

Great collection of figures.
Love the Flags of War British.

Oh, no. I've gone back and forth through this thread looking for images of Edinburgh Castle but to no avail. We have views from the castle but none of the castle.
Have you gone so "Hollywood" that there is no castle, not even a two dimensional flat version as in pre-CGI days? Oh, no. :D
Nice work all around.

Jacobite Rebellion 1745 Battle Report - Punch-up in Bonnyrigg. @RobJonesHistory took charge of the Government forces this afternoon, commanding the advance guard on a foraging mission into the small Scottish village. Being a fellow Celt, I obviously commanded the Jacobite forces.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GMbtlA9WYAA8AZX?format=jpg&name=large)
-
The opening moves saw the lead battalion of red coats scouring the village for food and drink, as their supply lines were stretched. The Jacobites were warned of the enemy’s advance and Sir James Drummond decided to send a small all arms detachment to spoil the English plans and hopefully to deny them of vital supplies.

a) I forgot, but b) you didn't remind me. :D
Yes pls mate, it would be useful to compare stats/
First of is how we (Vodkafan & I) base the troops.
40mm frontage 50mm depth = Government troops. 4 Inf,(3 bases make a unit) or 1 gun & crew.(= a battery)
80mm " 50mm " = Clans (1 base = small clan/2 bases = average clan/ 3 bases = large clan) Mounted, 3 figures a base.
Next is how we fit 1745 into the rules.
Clansmen are classified as Natives. Not slowed by rough terrain. May counter attack inf. & follow up win against inf. Can use skirmish. All seems like Highlanders.
Ad Hoc units of Grenadiers are classed as Shock troops.
Government Hat Men (Line troops) can start the game in close order. Therefore can Volley fire.
Cavalry are a bit of a mixture Some of the Jacobite 'mounted' units ended up without horses! So it is at the player's discretion what category to place them in.
We also don't like the Officer disappearing into a unit (i.e. the one he 'joins') so we have a mini diorama on a round base. Looks much better.
I do enjoy messing about with the traits (e.g. Green, Veteran, poor shots etc.) as this makes the Clans especially a real rag bag of an Army.
I hope this is of some interest & maybe even some use.
