A grave marker at Culloden Battlefield that is popular among Outlander fans has been sealed off to visitors.
The Clan Fraser stone is currently off-limits following damage caused as a result of heavy foot traffic. The grave markers around the site commemorate the Jacobite soldiers who died at the Battle of Culloden in 1746.
