Summary

| Description |
English: Laudatory memorial to George's son Prince William, Duke of Cumberland, field marshall. "Butcher" Cumberland massacred Scots during and after the battle of Culloden but was hailed by Whigs in George II's reign at the time as 'Sweet William'.
The Inscription is " THIS OBELISK RAISED BY COMMAND OF KING GEORGE THE SECOND COMMEMORATES THE SERVICES OF HIS SON WILLIAM DUKE OF CUMBERLAND THE SUCCESS OF HIS ARMS AND THE GRATITUDE OF HIS FATHER THIS TABLET WAS INSCRIBED BY HIS MAJESTY KING WILLIAM THE FOURTH " According to a local guide the Obelisk was originally inscribed "Culloden" but Victoria had that removed. The family & the park authorities seem to be rather shy about this memorial |
