The Jacobites and the Hanoverians

Members of the Alba Adventure Company explain how they are able to re-create the Jacobite experience at the time of the '45 Rising, demonstrating the weapons and fighting techniques that helped them defeat the Redcoats until Culloden. The Redcoats won at Culloden because they were better led and trained in a new fighting drill by their leader Cumberland. After the battle, Jacobite survivors were massacred to ensure the Rising was brought to an end.
