Fort Augustus has been named after the old military barracks that were blown up by Bonnie Prince Charlie's Highlanders in 1746. The original name of the village was Cill Chuimein. Running through the village is the river Oich and the impressive Caledonian Canal and lock system, built by Thomas Telford in the early 1800s. Fort Augustus offers visitors a superb range of hotels, B&B’s, shopping, bars and restaurants, amenities, attractions and activities, as well as a warm character and community spirit.
