The first day cover of the Battle of Culloden 270th Anniversary stamp (click on the image to view a larger image).

This stamp commemorates the 270th anniversary of the Battle of Culloden. On April 16, 1746, the Scottish Jacobite and French forces of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, fought the British forces led by Prince William Augustus, the Duke of Cumberland, at Culloden Moor near Inverness. The battle ended in defeat for the Jacobites, who lost all hope of restoring the House of Stuart.

The stamp shows the painting "An Incident in the Rebellion of 1745", also known as "The Battle of Culloden", by the painter David Morier.

The stamp is imperforate and ungummed (requires glue).
