The River Spean is a river located in the Scottish Highlands. It flows for approximately 16 miles, starting from the slopes of Ben Nevis and eventually joining the Loch Lochy. The river is known for its scenic beauty and is a popular spot for outdoor activities such as fishing and kayaking. The River Spean is part of the Great Glen system, which is a series of interconnected lochs and rivers in Scotland. It is also notable for its historical significance, as it runs near the site of the Battle of Spean Bridge, which took place in 1745 during the Jacobite uprising.
