The cottage became a symbol for the battlefield, and the people who lived there became the site's first tour guides. The cottage's last resident, Mrs Annabelle Cameron (née Belle Macdonald) moved out in 1912 and the cottage stood empty. In 1944, Leanach Cottage was given to the National Trust for Scotland by Hector Forbes, the landowner.

Old Leanach cottage still stands sentinel on the battlefield where, in 1745, the Jacobite dream of restoring the Stuarts to the throne ended as the Jacobite army was decisively routed by a British. Nestled amidst the battlefield's somber landscape, Old Leanach Cottage served as a field hospital for wounded soldiers during the conflict.
