...and on the shores of famous LOCH NESS another special retreat in 'churchy' surroundings! You are not getting bored with us...since autumn 2009 another chance for DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT vacations is on offer...a very special apartment at THE HIGHLAND CLUB/Fort Augustus Abbey...the SCRIPTORIUM apartment!!! Fort Augustus Abbey is - without doubt - one of the finest old buildings in the north of Scotland with a fascinating history...turbulent at times...starting out as a military garrison and -ironically perhaps- later converted into a place of peace by St Benedictine monks. Recently redeveloped, the abbey now provides a most exclusive holiday home in Scotland . Surrounded on three sides by water, Fort Augustus Abbey is set on the southern end of Loch Ness in twenty acres of beautiful mature garden grounds which extend right down to the shoreline of Loch Ness, home of the 'Water Horse' we call Nessie. The Caledonian Canal forms the western boundary and the river Tarff forms the eastern boundary. Loch Ness, is just 20 minutes drive from the city of Inverness. THE HIGHLAND CLUB includes a tennis court and cricket pitch, a club lounge with full sized snooker table with the 'Boathouse' restaurant onsite in the grounds and much more...once the development is completed, an indoor swimming pool, spa facilities, and gym will be available for the exclusive use of Highland Club residents and visitors. The lovely, picturesque village of Fort Augustus is only a couple of hundred yards from the abbey. Take your time !!! Browse the site under 'Its really an Abbey' and get a feeling for your next exciting trip to BONNIE SCOTLAND...
