Your home in the Highlands...the SCRIPTORIUM apartment!

Guarding the Great Glen on the shores of Loch Ness, Fort Augustus Abbey has a long and often turbulent history that stretches back to the days of Culloden and Bonnie Prince Charlie. In 1876 the Lovat Estate leased the grounds to a Benedictine Order of monks who built a monastery, and later a school, on the great bastions of the Hanovarian fort...get now a feeling for this place in history at the slide show 'Times gone by'.

Today the austerity of monastic life has given way to the warmth of modern leisure living...still with the special peacefulness of a spiritual place in a mystic setting!

'Pax in Virtute' - Peace with Righteousness - is the original motto of St. Benedict's Abbey at Fort Augustus...

Enjoy the 'sound of peacefulness' at this perfect HIGHLAND HOME...for people who love The Highlands of Scotland!!!
