Spean Bridge
Spean Bridge is a town 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 army road in between Ft William and Fort Augustus, and also not from Telford's bridge of 1819 which carries the A82 over the river at the heart of the town. Hing on the Great Glen, Spean Bridge has transport links north towards Inverness as well as southern to Ft William, offered by the A82, and also the A86 heads east to sign up with the A9 at Kingussie. The village is served by the Spean Bridge railway station offering links to Glasgow, London, and also Mallaig and also between 1903 and also 1933 it offered a branch line service to Ft Augustus. The Highbridge Altercation on 16 August 1745 was the initial involvement of the Jacobite Climbing of 1745. The Commando Memorial, committed to the men of the original British Commando Forces elevated throughout Second World War, lies roughly 1 mile (1.6 kilometres) north-west of Spean Bridge, at the joint of the A82 and the B8004.
