The Battle of Falkirk Muir was fought on the afternoon of 17th January 1746 just as it was getting dark. Although it involved more men than any other battle of the 1745 Jacobite uprising with some 8000 or so men on each side and probably a large number of spectators, it was short-lived and the main fighting only lasted about half an hour. Taking part in the battle were the Jacobites led by Bonnie Prince Charlie with Lord George Murray in command of their right and the Government or Hanoverian army led by General Henry Hawley.
The battle of Falkirk Muir trail leads you through the heart of the battlefield introducing you to the key characters and outlines the main events of the day.
