Day 5 - Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge. Have never actually stopped before but it is an impressive scultpture in a commanding position. Actually got quite a good view od Ben Nevis, it wasn't in the cloud for once and there was still snow on the tops.
The Commando Memorial is a Category A listed monument in Scotland, dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. Situated around a mile from Spean Bridge village, it overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle. Unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother, it has become one of Scotland's best-known monuments, both as a war memorial and as a tourist attraction offering views of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr.
