Parish of KilmonivaigKilmonivaig is also the name of the large parish which has its Church of Scotland parish church one kilometer from the bridge at Spean Bridge on the north side of the river. KIlmonivaig was one of the two constituent parishes which traditionally made up Lochaber.[1][2] A memorial to the Commandos, who trained at nearby Achnacarry, is situated on a vantage point above Spean Bridge looking out over Kilmonivaig.

Just downstream of Spean Bridge is the remains of High Bridge completed by General Wade in 1836 at a cost of £1,087.[4] Royal Heritage and battlesKilmonivaig was once the territory of Bancho thane of Lochaber and an ancestor of the House of Stuart.[5] The thane was suppose to occupy either Inverlochy Castle. The castle was reported to have been a royal residence and the celebrated league between Charlemagne and Achaius, King of Scots that was signed in the 8th Century.[5] In 1431 a battle took place at Kilmonivaig between Donald Baleal, cousin of Alexander of Islay, Earl of Ross, then a state prisoner of Tantallon Castle and the Earls of Caithness. In this battle the royal forces were defeated and the Earl of Caithness was slain.[5] In 1645 Montrose fought Argyll, with Argyll being defeated.[5] References1. ^Donald B.
