About Fort Augustus, United Kingdom

Fort Augustus is a settlement in the Scottish Highlands, at the south west end of Loch Ness. Until the early 18th century the settlement was called Kiliwhimin, and the Gaelic name for the modern village is still Cill Chuimein. It was renamed Fort Augustus after the unsuccessful Jacobite Rising of 1715. The accepted etymology is that the settlement was originally named after Saint Cummein of Iona who built a church there. The monks set up Fort Augustus Abbey from the fort and later constructed a school there which ran until 1993 when it closed owing to changing educational patterns in Scotland causing a falling roll. Fort Augustus was served by a rail line to Spean Bridge from 1903 until 1933, built by the North British Railway, but initially operated by the Highland Railway. The Caledonian Canal connecting Fort William to Inverness passes through Fort Augustus in a dramatic series of locks stepping down to Loch Ness.
