Culloden wins five stars
The VisitScotland inspection team who visited Culloden in November 2008, said the way the exhibition is presented to visitors is outstanding and makes complex history easy to understand at various levels. The hospitality and service of staff was also highly praised, as was the building. Since opening to the public in December 2007, the centre, which was designed by Gareth Hoskins Architects, has welcomed close to 140,000 visitors. The centre houses a state-of-the-art exhibition which provides visitors with a vivid account of the battle, the people involved and aims to dispel some of the myths surrounding the battle.
Since its opening, Culloden has attracted accolades and commendations from a wide range of sources, including taking top prize in the ‘Use of Technology’ category at the prestigious Museums and Heritage Awards in May for its innovative battlefield guides. The centre also attained gold level in the Green Tourism Business Awards. Recently, an influential All Party Group at Westminster commended the site for its high archaeological standards.
