The Battle of Culloden, fought on April 16, 1746, resulted in a decisive defeat for the Jacobite forces led by Charles Edward Stuart. It is estimated that around 5,000 Jacobite soldiers fought in the battle, but only a small number survived, with estimates suggesting that around 1,000 to 1,500 managed to escape the battlefield. The British government forces suffered significantly fewer casualties, with around 300 men killed or wounded. The aftermath of the battle marked the end of the Jacobite uprising and led to harsh reprisals against the Highland clans.
