For visitors to Culloden Visitor Centre, the gun is one of a small group of objects from the battlefield with powerful associations, providing a tangible link to the past.  This item of national significance deserves to be shown where it can be appreciated – at Culloden Visitor Centre.

 

The blunderbuss is inscribed ‘Taken at the battle of CULLODEN 16 April 1746 by Captain John Goodenough with 18 balls in it’.  It has been on display at Culloden Battlefield on loan from William Keith Neal Foundation and with your help we can keep it at Culloden where it belongs.

 

Without your support, it is most likely that the gun would be sold to a collector overseas.

 

Please donate to allow us to purchase this important piece of Culloden's history.
