Site for Contemplation
To cater for those who return to the area to reflect on the memory of departed relatives or friends a collective memorial providing a site for contemplation was created in the autumn of 2005, funded by the Nevis Partnership. This is located in a woodland setting beside the river and near to the Glen Nevis Visitor Centre. It is easily accessed via an all abilities path from the adjacent car park.
The memorial comprises a semi-circular stone bench orientated towards a clearing in the wood beyond which there is an uninterrupted view of Ben Nevis. On the back of the stone bench a suitable inscription has been carved and immediately to the front a simple stone cairn has been erected. Here visitors can, in a peaceful and tranquil setting, sit and contemplate not only on their personal loss but also on the scenic beauty that surrounds them.
No plaques or floral tributes will be permitted at this site, which stands on land owned and managed by the Highland Council. This decision has been taken in order to maintain the neutrality of the site for all visitors.
