This is another one of my shots of the Commando Monument at Spean Bridge in the Scottish Highlands. Different season, different weather but still one of the most amazing places I visit.
Another interpretation. High above Spean Bridge and bearing the words “United we conquer” and “This country was their training ground” stands this seventeen foot high monument, designed by Scott Sutherland and unveiled by the Queen Mother in 1952. It is dawn and snow can be seen on the tops, 3 days after midsummers day, and it is raining. This is a well photographed monument but I wanted/needed to interpret differently than most, and I have therefore attempted to convey the harsh weather conditions and rugged terrain that is a hallmark of Royal Marine training. I hope that I have succeeded, if only slightly, as having trained here, I can assure you that a picture cannot fully convey the reality of a commando training ground. They stand overlooking, as if conquerors of their domain, and indeed they were.
The world famous Commando Memorial stands proudly high above Spean Bridge. The three gigantic bronze figures stand proud in battledress, woollen caps and climbing boots looking across the Great Glen. The 17 foot high Memorial was designed by Scott Sutherland from Dundee College of Art in 1949, and unveiled by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother in 1952. Hundreds of veteran Commandos make the annual pilgrimage to attend the Service of Remembrance and Wreath Laying held at the Memorial in November.

The land around Acharacle was used in World War II as a training ground for the Commando regiments. This 5m tall bronze monument was erected in 1952 to the memory of those men, and is situated on a hill by the A82 just north of Spean Bridge.
