Pupils from an Inverness school charged Culloden Battlefield on Saturday and assumed control of the visitor centre.
It is the second year in a row the “take over day” was staged and it is fast becoming an annual tradition.
The National Trust for Scotland was more than happy to let Charleston Academy’s travel and tourism take the helm to help instill the historic importance of the site in future generations.
The plan for the day was to let people step back in time to see how life was for those that fought and died in the 1746 battle.
Pupils Mia Gettens and Glen Harper staged a demonstration of how to treat common battlefield injuries.
Among the methods showcased was the agonising process of amputating a destroyed limb, with two pupils in the roles of injured soldiers.
Fraser MacGregor took his guitar to play some songs throughout the day while there was a costume presentation as well.
For that Kevin Johnstone and Jayden Westwater dressed as redcoats while Chloe Harrison and Annie Maclean wore the typical dresses of the day.
The students also explored the Polish connection to the conflict though both the Old Pretender James III of England and Ireland and James VIII of Scotland and his famous son Bonnie Prince Charlie.
The latter’s mother and James III’s wife Clementine was a Polish princess, a granddaughter of a Polish Sobieski king.
There was also a lucky dip, a clay moulding challenge where participants tried to make their own battlefield artefact and a treasure hunt.
Culloden was fought on April 16, 1746 and was the last pitched battle on British soil.
The centre is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary and eight decades of battlefield conservation.
Free entry and other activities have also been on offer to youngsters living in the Highland and Perth postcode areas.
