Fort Augustus


The main interest here is the very short lived, and very expensive, pier line. This crossed the Caledonian Canal just by the top lock and then swept around the north of the town and down to Loch Ness. The station building is now private, but can be viewed from the Foyers Road. The town station is now a council works but the platform survives and a little can be seen under the fence by the top lock. All signs of the swing bridge have gone, but some parts did survive until the 1980's.
