A series of community events will take place later this month as part of the National Trust for Scotland’s public consultation on how to protect Culloden battlefield.
NTS, which owns the site, launched its Culloden300 consultation in April in response to pressure from developers to build ever nearer the site of the famous battle of 1746.
The charity is investigating the impact of development on the areas surrounding the battlefield and is keen to establish a sense of what would be acceptable and appropriate development within the Conservation Area.
It says the current legal safeguards do not protect the area, and fears unsympathetic development will ruin the historic landscape for ever.
Culloden300 is an online survey to gauge how people feel about the battlefield and what it contributes to its sense of place.
The trust says that, by engaging a wide and diverse audience, it hopes to gain a clear understanding of what would be acceptable and appropriate development for the area, taking into account the needs of the local and wider community and economy.
The aim is to establish what Culloden Moor landscape should look like in 2046, 300 years after the battle which proved the endgame of the Jacobite uprising.
So far more than 2,500 people have participated in the survey with 70% from Scotland.
NTS now wants to move to the next step with a series of community events. One of these will be at Culloden Battlefield and Visitor Centre on Sunday, July 21.
Raoul Curtis Machin, operations manager at the centre, said: "We are inviting members of the public to look at computer drawings of one, two and three-storey developments as seen from key points on the battlefield.
"They will have the opportunity to discuss the impact of development on the landscape and share their views on what is acceptable and what is not."
