This live stream looks out over Fort Augustus, a small village at the southern tip of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is a useful place to check conditions on the loch before a visit or a boat trip.
A village at the head of Loch Ness
Fort Augustus sits where the Caledonian Canal meets the southern end of Loch Ness, surrounded by hills and dense conifer woods. The village grew up around a former military fort built after the Jacobite risings, and today it is known for its canal locks, narrowboats and walks along the water. The Great Glen runs straight through the area, which gives the landscape its distinctive long, narrow shape.
What to watch on the stream
The camera is most rewarding in the longer days of spring and summer, when the light lingers over the water until late evening. Mist often lies on the loch in the early morning, and cloud shadows moving across the hills can make the view change quickly. Check the live feed around sunrise or in the early evening for the calmest surface and the softest colours.
Planning a visit
The Highlands have a mild but changeable climate, with rain possible in any season, so layers and waterproofs are sensible. Late spring to early autumn is the most popular period for visiting. Nearby cameras in Foyers, Loch Arkaig and Muir of Ord show other parts of the region, which can help you compare conditions across the area.
