I bought Reid's book at the Culloden battlefield, and it made sense of what I saw walking the site. It was a good buy.

A very good introduction and guide to the events leading up to and the battle of Culloden. This gives an insight into the details of the 45 rebellion, as well as the tactics, strategies, and ground fought on the day. Definitely worth reading by anyone with an interest in Scottish history, or planning a trip to the battlefield itself.
