Fort Augustus to Fort William with Glengarry
Community Timeline

In 2011 an ARCH class researched the heritage along the Great Glen between Fort Augustus and Fort William, and along Glengarry. The area has been lived in for thousands of years. Some of the evidence of the past is still there to be seen today, but much has been altered or has been destroyed. Further information about these and many other interesting remains of our heritage can be found in binders at Glengarry Heritage Centre and Fort William Library, or by consulting Highland Council’s Historic Environment Record at http://her.highland.gov.uk.
