Old Photographs Hotel Spean Bridge Scotland
Old photograph of cars and people outside the hotel in Spean Bridge, Scotland. This Scottish village, in the Great Glen, takes its name from the Highbridge over the River Spean on General Wade's Highlands military road between Fort William and Fort Augustus. The Highbridge Skirmish on 16 August 1745 was the first engagement of the Jacobite Rising of 1745. The Commando Memorial, dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during Second World War, is located approximately 1 mile north west of Spean Bridge, at the junction of the A82 and the B8004. It overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle.
