I think I have been to the Commando's Memorial four times and each time it has changed or at least I imagine it has. I am sure the last time I was here the pathways weren't so well constructed and a bit of landscaping has taken place. I guess it has had a bit of post neo-independence money. It looks good and the view all around is quite spectacular. My generation regarded it as old- fashioned or right wing to feel any sense of pride about our military, but I have re-habilitated my family's military history and have nothing but respect for the people this statue commemorates and the sacrifices they made. Of many favourite spots in the highlands this is one of them.The snow gate is another but I didn't take a photo of it - so hardly worth a mention!
