Spean Bridge
Spean Bridge is a village in the parish of Kilmonivaig, in Lochaber in the Highland region of Scotland. The village takes its name from the Highbridge over the River Spean on General Wade's military road between Fort William as well as Ft Augustus, and also not from Telford's bridge of 1819 which brings the A82 over the river at the heart of the town. Lying in the Great Glen, Spean Bridge has transportation links north in the direction of Inverness and southern to Fort William, given by the A82, and also the A86 heads eastern to join the A9 at Kingussie. The village is offered by the Spean Bridge railway station giving links to Glasgow, London, as well as Mallaig as well as in between 1903 and 1933 it provided a branch line service to Fort Augustus. The Highbridge Altercation on 16 August 1745 was the first interaction of the Jacobite Increasing of 1745. The Commando Memorial, dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces elevated throughout Second World War, lies approximately 1 mile (1.6 kilometres) north-west of Spean Bridge, at the joint of the A82 as well as the B8004. It ignores the training areas of the Commando Training Depot developed in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle.
