The only surviving building after the Battle of Culloden was the Old Leanach Cottage which was inhabited until 1912 & then preserved by the Gaelic Society of Inverness. The Cottage is now kept by the National Trust for Scotland, as is the Moor, & it’s been refurbished to look like it would’ve done in the 18th century. There were surrounding barns but they were burnt down when Gov’t redcoats found 30 wounded Jacobites seeking refuge in them. They barricaded the barn & burnt the Jacobites alive.
