Old Photograph Hospice Fort Augustus Abbey Scotland

Old photograph of a vintage car outside the Hospice at the Abbey in Fort Augustus, Highland, Scotland. Fort Augustus Abbey owed its inception to the desire of John Crichton Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, for the restoration of monasticism in Scotland. The site at Fort Augustus was given by Simon Fraser, 13th Lord Lovat. It comprised the buildings of a dismantled fort, built in 1729 and originally erected for the suppression of Highland Jacobites. It had been purchased from the Government by the Lovat family in 1867.
