Unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother, it has become one of Scotland's best-known monuments, both as a war memorial and as a tourist attraction offering views of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr.
The Commando Memorial and Highbridge ruin are only a short walk from Spean Bridge and are worth a visit if time permits.
