Battle of Prestonpans

A 2hr tour of the battlefield and other sites connected to the Battle of Prestonpans as featured in Outlander

In 1745 the Jacobite army won their first, and arguably only, major battle of the "45" uprising. It was a masterstroke in military tactics that saw a ragtag group of crofters and farmers defeat the might of the British army and enabled them to push on further south into England and get to within a hairs breadth of toppling the Government. It is a battle that has gone down in folklore ever since.

This tour lasts aprox 2 hours and not only takes in the battlefield itself, but also other associated sites of the battle. pick up from Edinburgh is available or collection from local train station.
