Fort Augustus
Fort Augustus is a negotiation in the parish of Boleskine and Abertarff, at the south-west end of Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands. The village has a population of around 646 (2001 ). Its economy is heavily dependent on tourism. Just like a lot of the British Isles as well as Scotland, Ft Augustus has an oceanic environment (Köppen: Cfb) with cool summers and mild winters months. Like a great deal of the bordering area, sunshine levels are reduced at around 1,000 hours per year as well as temperature levels are unpredictable-- Ft Augustus holds the UK's joint lowest May temperature document of -9.4 ° C (15.1 ° F). This is the current factor in the run up to summer that such a low temperature level has actually been taped, suggesting it can end up being a frost trap on tranquil clear evenings as a result of its valley location. That same reduced lying topography can also generate some heats occasionally-- Fort Augustus held the UK daily high temperature record for 16 December for almost 80 years.
