The Culloden Battlefield Memorial Centre, the result of an international design competition which was held by the National Trust for Scotland in 2004, was designed by Gareth Hoskins Architects. Culloden is often referred to as the last battle in the UK.

The project, including repeated explanation and reinstatement of the landscape of the battlefield and a new 1000 sqm  musem, was designed in cooperation with international exhibition designers.

The new centre includes a series of controlled exhibition spaces, educational space, restaurant, shop and support facilities and a landscaped roof platform offers panoramic views over the battlefield which is the final resting place for over 1800 soldiers.

The building has been designed as a model of environmental sustainability. It is located to decrease wind chill and take advantage of natural daylight. It’s heavily separated envelope is clad in locally sourced larch, Caithness stone and site salvaged field stone, and it is heated by a woodchip burning biomass boiler system, supplied from local forestry sources.
