Fort Augustus is a small village at the southern shores of Loch Ness, the lake made famous by the mythical Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. Situated about halfway between Inverness and Fort William, this is a popular spot for exploring nature on the Great Glen Way trail, learning about 17th century highland weaponry at the Clanmen Centre, embarking on trips to the nearby Urquhart Castle and taking boat tours out on Loch Ness. It’s also a great place to sit back and relax while watching boats navigate the locks of the Caledonian Canal.
