What’s On

I’ll be writing it’s bloody disgrace. Our history must be preserved , for future generations . Once it’s gone we canne get it back !

I will share this. I support what you’re attempting to achieve. Roads never belong over our fallen.

Colin Cameron

This is our Scottish history and should not be destroyed by a road 😡

Not a foregone conclusion. Someone will need to be appointed to carry out a heritage impact assessment in due course before any decision is made.

I sympathize with my Scottish friends. We here in the U.S, are going through much the same. History is being destroyed in the name of progress.

There will have been archaeological work carried out on behalf of Transport Scotland in advance of any proposals to site the road. Probably in the last couple of years. This is the law and cannot be side-stepped. Have you had access to those findings? If so, what do they show? Do they support the argument (hopefully) to go north of the existing A9?

The SNP say we dont have enough people in Scotland, that they would open the doors to mass migration, to which end such sites must go, be it for housing transport or food production, we will have to give up such sites to met the demands of the increased population.

Absolutely disgraceful!! Our beautiful countryside and history is being decimated by the vociferous building programmes in this country. I will write too!! 😡

Keep up the good fight.

Thay want too build houses on culloden too I see a pattern here

General wade did the same straight through Areas of importance , even in fife moving a gorgeous stone circle for no real reason

Nice to see people who actually care about our history. Just a pity the Scottish government will not listen to anyone and just do as they please. History means nothing to them. Just like the people from America are saying, it is happening in their country as well. Sad times indeed.

This Scottish government do not care about history at all or climate change. I was on the march at Culloden against building houses on the Moor where jacobites would have been slaughtered trying to escape the Cumberland soldiers. Now Killiekrankie battlefield, more destruction to our history. Let the dead soldiers lie in peace. As the gentleman said put the new carriageway to the other side of the proposed development that way the carriageway is still getting built with less distruction to the battlefield. When I mentioned climate change at the start this government are all about not caring. Aviemore 1500 houses getting built on beautiful land which were knocked back by the council. Pylons through Glencoe next to the slaughter of the Macdonalds. History

Fortunately for Scotland the Cameronians later held and defeated the Jacobite remnant at Dunkeld. The Jacobites, of course, were the original Tories (literally the supporters of the dispossessed James VII), with power, privilege and patronage at the heart of everything they did or wanted (then as now).

Shouldn't be done...the land should be preserved and the story told and retold....it's called history

Would be such a shame. I lived not far from there and love the area.

Keep up the fight ! History is slowly being destroyed by roads and housing , soon there will be nothing left!!!!

I'd put the needs of the people alive now and in the future ahead of 331-year old ghosts... despite 100% respecting their bravery and sacrifice.

E-mail being sent this evening, post shared, I truely hope they see sense!

I love that area BUT it’ll probably be a done deal and lesson to Pitlochry to choose it’s partners better. I was at last years Highland games and saw stalls for both SNP & Yes2 campaign BUT NO other parties or campaigns! Very disappointed that they targeted such an event and that they were allowed to campaign there!

Well done fighting the good fight guys..... Will share this and hopefully the powers that be see sense. To go forwards you have to remember what came before. Good luck.

Another bit of Scottish history going to be lost a disgrace.

Come on Nicola if you truly love Scotland get this sorted.

Without wishing to derail this thread, it always astonishes me how little is ever made of the Battle of Dunkeld a few days later which again was Scot vs Scot, this time with a different but decisive result.

Sent Dear First Minister,Firstly, a Happy New Year to you and your husband and I hope it brings you both health and happiness in the future.As an avid follower of the road to independence, I am somewhat dismayed by the video I just watched on the expansion of the A9 across the Killiecrankie battlefield. As a patriotic Scot and former serviceman, military history means a lot to me and I would hope that Transport Scotland will listen to the concerns of those who both live in the area and those who so enthusiastically keep the story of Killiecrankie alive.I am also emailing in the hope that your public enquiry will be fair and impartial and listen to the concerns of all parties and not just be driven by monetary costs or planning delays should a change in route be the given choice.I look forward to hearing of the findings and decision made during any statement you make in Holyrood.On a secondary note, this is a big year for the people of Scotland and we have the momentum but please do not lose sight on important historical and environmental issues such as this in your quest to follow Scotland's dream.Yours Aye, David Provan

Email sent and shared video shared. This is a great video that shows how reasonable everyone is being! Good luck

Disgracefull

Why cant they leave these historical sights alone, I think brown envelopes are in hand somewhere
