FORT AUGUSTUS, SCOTLAND - 3RD MAY 2026 - DRONE WITH A VIEW - [4K] DRONE FOOTAGE

Fort Augustus is a settlement in the parish of Boleskine and Abertarff, at the south-west end of Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands. The village has a population of around 620 (2020). Its economy is heavily reliant on tourism. Sir George Macdonald—in relation to the finding of a hoard of Roman coins in 1767 near the city's ancient Benedictine Abbey—wrote about the possibility that Fort Augustus was built on a Roman small fortification built under Diocletian's rule. The Gaelic name for the modern village is Cille Chuimein ([ˈkʲiʎə ˈxumɛɲ]) and until the early 18th century the settlement was called Kiliwhimin. It was renamed Fort Augustus after the Jacobite rising of 1715. The accepted etymology is that the settlement was originally named after Saint Cummein of Iona who built a church there. Other suggestions are that it was originally called Ku Chuimein after one of two abbots of Iona of the Comyn clan, whose badge Lus mhic Chuimein refers to the cumin plant,or that it was called Cill a' Chuimein ("Comyn's Burialplace") after the last Comyn in Lochaber.
