A map of the Battle of Culloden fought on 16 April 1746 between the King's army, commanded by William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland (1721-65) and the Jacobite army, under Charles Edward Stuart (1720-88) resulting in a royal victory. Jacobite Rebellion (1745-6). Oriented with north-west to top (cardinal points).

An unfinished map, lacking any annotation or text. This appears to be based on Thomas Sandby's plan at RCIN 730028 and may have been made at a much later date.
