Walk the Old Military Road in Fort Augustus

This walk starts at Jenkins Park and climbs up through silver birch and pine woodland via a number of wide zig zags. As the path levels off there are good views down over Fort Augustus, the Caledonian Canal and the hills south of Loch Ness. A super circular walk taking approx. 2 hours.

Relaxing by the Caledonian Canal in Fort Augustus

After a very cold winter, it was lovely to see people relaxing by the canal (with a drink in hand) watching the boats negotiate the succession of locks on the Caledonian Canal. With a spectacular view down Loch Ness it really is one of the prettiest places to be.

Golf in Fort Augustus

The scenery at the Fort Augustus golf course is breathtaking, surrounded by mountains and sitting alongside the Caledonian Canal.

It really is a pleasure to play here and is open to all ages and abilities. It's a 9 hole course but with dual teeing positions it gives the feel of an 18 hole course.

If you are staying on holiday at the Aonach Mor Apartments why not try your hand. You can hire all the equipment you need at the course.

Good luck and have fun.
