A search for roots is behind a surge in Scottish tourism

HERE’S a pub-quiz question: which is Britain’s most-visited battlefield? No, it is not the site of the Battle of Hastings, where William the Conqueror triumphed in 1066, but that of the Battle of Culloden, where in 1746 the Duke of Cumberland squashed the remnants of the Jacobite uprising within Scotland. Culloden had twice as many tourists as Hastings last year. It also had a 76% rise in visits over the year before.
