Fort Augustus is a charming village located at the southwestern end of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is a popular tourist destination known for its picturesque setting and rich history. The village is named after the fort built by the English government in the early 18th century during the Jacobite uprisings. Today, visitors can explore the Caledonian Canal, which passes through the village and features a series of locks that make for a fascinating sight.
