Summary

[edit]
Description

Fort Augustus Abbey, properly St. Benedict's Abbey, at Fort Augustus, Inverness-shire, Scotland, was a Benedictine monastery, from late in the nineteenth century to 1998.

The site at Fort Augustus was given by Simon Fraser, 13th Lord Lovat. It comprised the buildings of a dismantled fort, ("Fort Augustus") built in 1729 and originally erected for the suppression of Highland Jacobites. It had been purchased from the Government by the Lovat family, in 1867.

A church of large size, designed by Peter Paul Pugin, was commenced in 1890, replacing a temporary wooden one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Augustus_Abbey

Fort Augustus Abbey, a Grade A listed building, has been painstakingly and tastefully renovated and converted into high quality accommodation, in the form of luxury apartments and riverside cottages.
