It is a popular tourist destination on the Caledonian Canal, offering magnificent views of the world-renowned Loch Ness. Visitors can enjoy spectacular views while walking along a network of trails traversing the green pastures that blanket the rolling hills, most famously the Great Glen Way walking trail stretching from coast to coast across the Highlands. Fort Augustus serves as an excellent base to explore local attractions and discover hidden treasures in the countryside. Learn about the history of the historic canal at the Caledonian Canal Heritage Centre, watch the boats navigate the lochs, view the medieval Urquhart Castle, and cruise along the peaceful waters of Loch Ness. Last but not least, don’t forget to scan the water’s surface to catch a glimpse of the legendary Loch Ness Monster.
