Location
Fort Augustus enjoys a strong trading location in the Great Glen on the arterial A82, situated between Fort William and Inverness. Fort Augustus is a historic and popular tourist destination on the shores of Loch Ness and the world renown Caledonian Canal. Next to the capital city of Edinburgh, Loch Ness is the second most popular tourist attraction visited by record numbers of tourists each year. Loch Ness is a large freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands extending for approximately 23 miles north east towards Inverness. It takes its name from the River Ness, which flows from the northern end of the loch. Loch Ness is best known for alleged sightings of the cryptozoological Loch Ness Monster, also known affectionately as "Nessie”, and as a result there are many attractions and services in the area to enjoy. Popular attractions include trips on Loch Ness, or perhaps a trip to the nearby Urquhart Castle. This is an ideal base for touring or relaxing and for keen walkers and cyclists there are many routes around Fort Augustus, the most popular being the Great Glen Way which passes through the village.
