It's on a block of stone just to the east of the Commando Memorial and shows 21 directions to features in the area. They include 13 peaks ranging in height from Meall An t'Slomain at 1631ft, in the west, to Ben Nevis at 4406ft, in the south-west. The directions to Loch Linnhe and Glen Loy are some of the low features shown. A silhouette of the peaks forms the outline of the table.
Also on the table is a brass plaque pledging 'contributions towards the upkeep of the memorial will be gratefully received'.
