The siege of Culloden House was part of the Jacobite rising of 1715 in Scotland.

After the Jacobites had seized Inverness, some of them marched to Culloden House which was held by the Forbes family who supported the British Government and laid siege to it.

They were told by the laird's wife that if they approached within gun-shot of the house that she would show them that she had both the arms and ammunition to support the right and title of George I of Great Britain.

[1] Lady Forbes of Culloden and her servants managed to hold off a force of armed men.

[2] They were relieved with the assistance of Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat who dispersed the force from Clan Chattan who controlled the area which in turn enabled him to gain the support of John Gordon, 16th Earl of Sutherland and John Forbes to give him freedom from arrest for treason.
