Spean Bridge
Spean Bridge is a town in the parish of Kilmonivaig, in Lochaber in the Highland region of Scotland. The town takes its name from the Highbridge over the River Spean on General Wade's army road in between Ft William as well as Fort Augustus, and not from Telford's bridge of 1819 which lugs the A82 over the river at the heart of the village. Depending on the Great Glen, Spean Bridge has transportation links north towards Inverness as well as south to Ft William, given by the A82, and the A86 heads eastern to join the A9 at Kingussie. The town is offered by the Spean Bridge railway station supplying links to Glasgow, London, as well as Mallaig as well as between 1903 and 1933 it provided a branch line service to Fort Augustus. The Highbridge Skirmish on 16 August 1745 was the first involvement of the Jacobite Climbing of 1745.
