You are not getting bored with us…a new chance for DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT vacations will soon be on offer…a very special apartment at THE HIGHLAND CLUB/Fort Augustus Abbey…simply check this site OR get your email-address registered with us and we will keep you informed!
Fort Augustus Abbey is – without doubt – one of the finest old buildings in the north of Scotland with a fascinating history…turbulent at times…starting out as a military garrison and -ironically perhaps- later converted into a place of  peace by St Benedictine monks. Recently redeveloped, the abbey now provides a most exclusive holiday home in Scotland .

Surrounded on three sides by water, Fort Augustus Abbey is set on the southern end of Loch Ness in twenty acres of beautiful mature garden grounds which extend right down to the shoreline of Loch Ness, home of the ‘Water Horse’ we call Nessie. The Caledonian Canal forms the western boundary and the river Tarff forms the eastern boundary. Loch Ness, is just 20 minutes drive from the city of Inverness.

THE HIGHLAND CLUB includes a tennis court and cricket pitch, with the ‘Boathouse’ restaurant onsite in the grounds…once the development is completed, an indoor swimming pool, spa facilities, and a club lounge with full sized snooker table will be available for the exclusive use of Highland Club residents and visitors.
The lovely, picturesque village of Fort Augustus is only a couple of hundred yards from the abbey.
