Commando Memorial
The ''Commando Memorial'' is a Category A listed monument in the United Kingdom, dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. Situated around a mile from Spean Bridge village, it overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle. Unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother, it has become one of the United Kingdom's best-known monuments, both as a war memorial and as a tourist attraction offering views of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr.
==History==
In 1949, the sculptor Scott Sutherland won a competition open to all Scottish sculptors for the commission, ''The Commando Memorial''.〔 Sutherland's design won first prize of £200.〔 The base of the bronze statue is inscribed with the date of 1951. The sculpture was cast in the H.H Martyn and Company's foundry.〔 The memorial was officially unveiled by the Queen Mother on 27 September
1952.〔〔〔
The monument was first designated as a listed structure on 5 October 1971, and was upgraded to a Category A listing on 15 August 1996.〔 On 18 November 1993 a further plaque was added to mark the Freedom of Lochaber being given to the Commando Association.〔 On 27 March 2010 a war memorial path was opened connecting two local war memorials, the Commando Memorial, and the former High Bridge built by General Wade, where the first shots were fired in the Jacobite Rising of 1745 in the Highbridge Skirmish.〔
