| Number 8 Old School is a luxurious apartment occupying part of the historic St Benedicts Abbey. Situated in 20 acres of landscaped garden grounds right on the southern shores of Loch Ness, this really is the most exquisite location imaginable. The abbey was built on the original site of the fort that gives Fort Augustus its name. For many years a Benedictine monastery and school, these wonderful and historic buildings, with cloistered walks, stained glass windows and thick stone walls have been superbly converted into high quality living accommodation. Number 8 Old School is situated on the first floor of the old bell-tower and enjoys wonderful views across the landscaped grounds to the mountains beyond. The spacious open plan lounge, dining room and kitchen is beautifully presented with deep leather sofas, large dining table and exceptionally well-equipped kitchen with built-in appliances.

Children will enjoy the adventure playground and there is an excellent restaurant in the old Boat House in the Abbey grounds. Fort Augustus is a charming village. Its focal point is a dramatic and picturesque series of locks which provide access to boats from the Caledonian Canal to and from Loch Ness. The wide tow paths and pretty lawned areas along the side of the canal provide an ideal vantage point from which to sit and watch the numerous small crafts navigating the lock gates. There is a variety of good cafes and restaurants here, as well as an interesting and unusual selection of small shops. Fort Augustus is situated half way along the Great Glen Way, which runs from Fort William to Inverness along the side of the canal to provide superb cycling and scenic walking along its 73 mile path. The river Oich also runs close by; both are just a short walk from the Abbey. There is an excellent 9-hole golf course which is open to visitors. Mountain biking is very popular in the area and the recently opened Laggan Wolf Tracks provide some wonderful and stretching downhill runs for all abilities. Boat excursions on Loch Ness run from the village. Visitors wishing to learn more about the loch and its elusive monster, Nessie, should head for Drumnadrochit, about 20 miles north on the shores of the loch. This pretty village has two excellent museums offering scientific studies on the various sightings, with photographic illustrations. Just outside the village is the stunningly beautiful Urquhart Castle, which sits on a promontory overlooking Loch Ness. Heading west, the wild beauty of Glen Affic, one of the most beautiful and scenic Highland glens, has wonderful walks, with waterfalls, old Caledonian forests and amazing flora and fauna.
