Highland Club Scotland Monastery Holiday Homes
 The monastery is a major part of the luxury apartment development at Fort Augustus Abbey with a mix of one, two and three bedroomed apartments on four floors, both residential and holiday homes overlooking Loch Ness. This building looks out over Loch Ness and is in the quietest part of the Abbey grounds with extensive lawns which run right down to the shore of Loch Ness at the front and the cloister gardens to the back.
This part of the abbey renovation project was completed in late summer 2008. The picture below was taken in March 07 from the clock tower. There was a barn owl residing in the bell tower of the monastery before the renovation and we hope it will continue living there fo rmany years to come.
The abbey itself is home to at least five species of bats and consequently it makes Fort Augustus the Mecca for bat lovers. It certainly makes the abbey at Fort Augustus one of the most important buildings in the whole of Scotland for bat conservation and considerable expense has been incurred by the Raven Group in providing for them, even to the extent of providing heated bat houses in a couple of the gables. Thank you, Raven ! We will be around during the summer with our bat detectors trying to identify some of them - we love to see bats and are especially grateful to them for all those midges and flies they remove from our space. By allerting you to the wildlife that lives there NOW you will look out for them and hopefully encourage the wildlife, however humble, for many years to come.
