The Lovat Hotel

The Lovat Hotel is a hotel in Fort Augustus, at the southern end of Loch Ness in Scotland, originally built in the 1860s. It stands on the site of Kilwhimen Barracks, one of only four Hanoverian forts built to pacify the Highlands after the 1715 & 1719 Jacobite uprisings. The west curtain wall of the old fort still stands in the hotel grounds and measures 34 metres long by 4 metres high. Bonnie Prince Charlie was in the barracks before he ordered the bombardment of the later Abbey Fort where the present day Fort Augustus Abbey now stands.
