At the western tip of Loch Ness, Fort Augustus straddles the Caledonian Canal, which runs through it to Loch Lochy and Fort William. After the Jacobite movement of 1715, fortifications were erected here and gave the village its name. The village is quite picturesque and its charm is undeniable. Although it is very popular as a place to discover Loch Ness, it is a pleasant and soothing place to visit. If you want to reach Inverness and prefer wilderness to Nessie attractions, follow the loch along its southern shore. If you choose the north shore, make a stop at Invermoriston.
