Remembering Littleferry

Plans to commemorate an unheralded Jacobean battle in Golspie, Sutherland – previously overshadowed by events at Culloden the following day – are accelerating. The Battle of Littleferry on 15 April 1746 between government forces and supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie resulted in as many as 100 being killed and twice that number injured. This little-known piece of Jacobean history is to be marked next year with a large memorial stone and garden at the site, a mile south east of Golspie, in memory of those who fell on both sides.
