Spean Bridge
Spean Bridge is a village in the parish of Kilmonivaig, in Lochaber in the Highland area of Scotland. The town takes its name from the Highbridge over the River Spean on General Wade's military road between Fort William and Fort Augustus, as well as not from Telford's bridge of 1819 which lugs the A82 over the river at the heart of the village. Hing on the Great Glen, Spean Bridge has transport links north towards Inverness as well as southern to Ft William, offered by the A82, as well as the A86 heads eastern to sign up with the A9 at Kingussie. The village is offered by the Spean Bridge railway station supplying links to Glasgow, London, and Mallaig and in between 1903 as well as 1933 it supplied a branch line service to Ft Augustus. The Highbridge Altercation on 16 August 1745 was the very first involvement of the Jacobite Increasing of 1745. The Commando Memorial, committed to the men of the original British Task force Forces raised during 2nd World War, lies about 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 locations of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle.
