A shoe buckle thought to have belonged to a Jacobite clan chief wounded in battle at Culloden has been discovered by archaeologists among other artefacts. Among the discovered artefacts are a large number of musket balls and grapeshot which were uncovered in a 60 square-metre area close to what was the British government frontline at Culloden Battlefield.
The National Trust for Scotland (NTS) have revealed the findings ahead of the 278th anniversary of the battle on April 16, 1746.
