Pipe smoking and Scotch led me on a quite wondrous digression - while searching for an item to use in a response on these forums - to this rather interesting film. Made in the 1960's, this account of the battle of Culloden (the defeat of Bonnie Prince Charlie's attempt to regain the crown for the Stewart line) was shot as if it took place during the era of television reporting. It's an interesting take on the usually dry battlefield documentary and one of my personal favorites.

I first saw this in a high school history class, and it instantly appealed to my anglophile nature. I was just so tickled at finding it on Youtube that I had to share.
Enjoy! :puffpipe:
