Rest day in Fort Augustus

We chose to take a rest day in Fort Augustus for several reasons:

  1. It’s halfway along the route, giving us three days of walking on either side.
  2. The travel guide informed us that Fort Augustus is “the biggest town between Fort William and Inverness”.
  3. The travel group that arranged the walk for us suggested Fort Augustus as an excellent place to take an extra day. Now I don’t remember everything they said (the website has changed a bit since we booked our travel), but I believe they called it “bustling” and, mentioned things like cruises, castles, and quaint shops.

All good reasons to stop there, right? Read more
