Do you believe the current level of planning protection afforded to Scottish battlefields is adequate?
 

Do you agree that new legislation is needed to give Scottish battlefields much greater planning protection?
 

This would be a tragedy to develop it

You have the most amazing history, please don't destroy it. Tourists like to go there and pay respects. You are a great country keep it that way.

I have been to Scotland and have visited Cullodon...would not like to see houses go up on the Battlefield over someones grave!

We must preserve the past or our current past will also be forgotten and erased.

Culloden is a war grave and deserves the same respect as The Somme. NO DEVELOPMENT

I lived and worked in Inverness for just over 3 years in the early 70's. I cannot believe this keeps coming up. If they're told 'no' then is should stand as is. Don't let them take away Scotland's Heritage.

The battlefield of Culloden and surrounding area is historical and should be preserved for all to know the history of Scotland. Homes should not encroach the land where brave men fought and their bones could still be there!

Every country should respect and protect their history. The future generations will be able to visit these places.
