Saturday 24 August 2013. Roybridge. Spean Bridge, Commando Monument.

Plenty of rain over night which had stopped when we awoke. We had quite a good nights sleep as Roybridge is a very small place and the hotel is on the edge of town on the A86.

As our room has a nice 32" Samsung LED TV, we stayed home to watch the Motogp (Czech - BRNO) and F1 (Belgium - Spa) qualifying before going into Spean Bridge, just down the road to collect some fruit and breakfast items.

We also went to look at the Commando Monument just north of Spean Bridge on the A82, which is a large three-figure bronze statue commemorating the service and sacrifice given by thousands of Allied troops during the Second World War and since.

It is a place where history was made and the Monument is a place of reverence and respect, located in a stunning location overlooking Ben Nevis and the Mamore mountains.

Whilst we were there many tourist buses full of mostly Asian visitors came and went.

We then returned to the hotel to catch up on some newspaper reading.
 
 The Stronlossit Hotel at Roybridge £85 per night plus £8 breakfast each if we wanted it

 Beautiful deer antler bedside lights. Behind the camera the room is very spacious.
