The Battle of Falkirk Muir was the largest of all the battles fought during the four Jacobite uprisings yet there is little public knowledge or recognition for this historic event. Our Trust aims to drive this awareness with our ultimate vision being to build a visitor centre in Falkirk to commemorate the Battle and drive tourism in the local area.
We are delighted to announce that tickets are now on sale for our first conference which will commemorate the Battle’s 276th anniversary.
Speakers include Jonathan Oates, Rosalind Anderson and Deborah Dennison who will examine the character and personalities of Bonnie Prince Charlie, The Murray’s of Atholl and General Hawley. Geoff Bailey and Arran Johnston will explore who won the Battle of Falkirk Muir. Guy Wedderburn, David Forsyth and Colin Fraser will discuss Callendar Estates, Museums and Jacobite Artefacts.
As you can see, we have a varied, exciting, and engaging line up. This event is a great opportunity for all interested to come together to find out facts surrounding the Battle of Falkirk Muir. We have event specific Covid-19 guidance which will be issued to all attendees in advance of the event.
