Fort Augustus Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Citylink buses connect Fort Augustus with Inverness (£8, 45 minutes, six daily) and Fort William (£8.20, one hour, six daily). Much more fun, but far less frequent, the Loch Ness Express (0800 328 6426; www.lochness­express.com) steams the length of Loch Ness to Fort Augustus (£13, two hours, twice daily May to October, once daily November and December) from Dochgarroch (with a bus transfer into and out of the centre of Inverness), stopping at Urqhuart Castle and Foyers along the way.
