Nestled on the southern tip of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, Fort Augustus offers stunning landscapes, serene waters and rugged terrain. A wealth of adventure activities await guests staying with us at Abbey Holidays Loch Ness. Our historic building on the shores of Loch Ness is the perfect base for exploring the great outdoors.

There are lots of wonderful walking trails in the area.
