Inverness, the capital city of the Highlands, and Fort William "the outdoor capital" are less than an hour's drive. The iconic Urquhart Castle at around 30 minutes, and the cinematically famous Eilean Donan Castle at around an hour (possibly the two most photogenic Highland Castles of all) are equally accessible from Fort Augustus. The Skye Bridge and the Isle of Skye itself are less than 90 minutes away, as is the mysterious and atmospheric Glencoe.
