the Garden of Remembrance
Just Northwest of Spearbridge you find the
The Commando Memorial to the left of the A82 road to Fort Augustus.
At the end of the war 25.000 men had been trained here, British
and volunteers from many other nationalities.
The bronze statue is set in the rugged scenery of the
Grampian mountains with
the soldiers looking towards
Ben Nevis, with 1344 meters Britains highest mountain.
A more recent addition to the monument
is the Garden of Remembrance as a final resting place for the ashes of WWII veteran Commandos.
We visited the Memorial in
May 2015.
