Nevis range, Highland
10 miles north of Fort William near Spean Bridge is the dramatic Commando Memorial, a bronze monument crafted by Scott Sutherland and placed here in 1952 to commemorate the commando units who trained in the area during World War 2.
From the Commando Memorial there is a spectacular view of the “Nevis Range” of mountains. This range includes Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest mountain at 4406 feet.
"Not for you a mock manouevre
No blanks fired, no punches pulled.
Some reached Le Havre or St Nazaire,
Some never left these hills."
