FORT AUGUSTUS.
This was another of those forts erected to keep the Highlanders under control after the rebellion of 1715, its position at the south end of Loch Ness commanding the pass of Corrieyairack. It was named from the Duke of Cumberland. The fort was taken by the Highlanders in 1745, but retaken after Culloden, and garrisoned down to 1857 the village, which is neat and attractive, growing up around the fort. The latter was sold in 1867 to Lord Lovat, and his successor presented it to the English Benedict-me Order, who have used the site for the erection of an abbey, a college, and a monastery, the finest establishment of the kind erected since the Reformation. The College is associated with Glasgow University. The locks are referred to in the next view.
