Just Watch Outlander

Our tour guide has been babbling for the last two days about the Jacobite Rising and the war against the English. The history of Scotland can be dissected piece by piece everywhere we go...and with it comes a complicated and confusing story that begins in Glenfinnan (our first stop today).
I honestly cannot explain this whole saga to you, but it ends in the catastrophic Battle of Culloden between the Jacobites and English. It's almost as confusing as the TV show Game of Thrones!!! So if you'd like another TV show to explore try Outlander on Starz. It seems to explain the whole drama through a WWII combat nurse who is mysteriously transported back to 1743 Scotland and kidnapped by a group of Highlanders.
To make a long story short....everyone in our tour group loves the TV show! And, the English go on to defeat the Jacobite army at the Battle of Culloden. Don't ask me to explain any more. I am a gym teacher....not a history teacher!
