The 
Commando Memorial Heritage Trail

The Commando Heritage Trail comprises a number of plaques placed at locations specific to the life and career of Scott Sutherland; from his birthplace in Wick to the Commando Memorial

The Leaping Salmon

As the final tribute of this project and your generous support, the recreation of Sutherlands's destroyed statue will be executed by one of the artists' students:

The Leaping Salmon will be placed prominently at the birthplace of the Commandos - Achnacarry by kind permission of Cameron of Locheil.

Uniquely Dedicated to Casualties of 

Commando Training

 

It has been determined that this final monument will be dedicated to those ranks that were wounded or died during WW2 Commando Training

This will be a unique recognition of the dangers of Commando Training and overdue recognition of those who fell during this challenge.
