Killiecrankie1689 presentation

Presentation by Rulzion Rattray, local historian, who has made a study of the Battle of Killiecrankie over the past 20 years. This is on behalf of KilliecrAnkie1689, a group that opposes the current plan to widen the A9 road over the most sensitive part of the battlefield.

I know I am seeing this video some years later I'm curious to know if construction of the NEW A9, ever went through? If so or if not, were archaeological digs ever possible beforehand? Just curious.

[johngraham]

Was the widening project able to be stopped?

[eslermanu]

You have got to stop these wankers who sit in offices drinking coffee and don't give a thought to our history.throw them out I support you fully.

Why can’t they go to top side of the A 9 looks much more easier to do !

Mar a thuairt am bard aig an àm is aite sin:

" ... An Raon Ruaraidh nam bad
'S lìonmhor uaigh is corp rag,
Mìle sluasaid is caip 'gan léidigeadh

A sàr Chéibhears nan each,
Bu ceann-féadhn' thu air feachd:
Mo chreach léir an tus gleac mar dh' éirich thu ... "

[tracyg]

I hope this widening can be diverted to a less important area

[cerberus]

Can they not just leave things alone!?

[MilitaryJournal]

Friday evening/weekend is the best time to reach the most people. I can also promote via Military History Journal

[Marzeonthego]

Why are they so intnet on ruining their own history...between Culloden and now Killiecrankie...?! I and WHY do they have to expand that roadway? It didin't look so busy to

The A9 development plan was drawn up by the London based Ministry of Transport, therefore, as the British Government LOST the battle...it is not important to protect that piece of history.
