Killiecrankie (/ˌkɪliːˈkræŋkiː/ ⓘ; Scottish Gaelic: Coille Chreithnich, meaning aspen wood) is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland on the River Garry.
The nearby 10 arch railway viaduct, which runs for 109 yards (100 m) along the north-east bank of the River Garry,[2] was built in 1863 from a design by Joseph Mitchell.
The Highland charge of the Jacobites took the government forces under General Hugh MacKay by surprise and completely overwhelmed them in only 10 minutes.
Donald MacBean, one of William II of Scotland's supporters, having lost the contest, is said to have cleared the pass, from one bank to the other, at "The Soldier's Leap".
