Augustus, Fort, a small fortress seated on a plain at the head of Loch Ness in Scotland, between the rivers Taarf and Oich; the last is a considerable stream, and has over it a stone bridge of three arches. The fort consists of four bastions: within is the governor's house, and barracks for 400 men; it was taken by the rebels in 1746, who immediately deserted it after demolishing what they could. The name of this fort in Erse is Kill Chumin, or the burial place of the Cumans. It lies on the road to the isle of Sky, which is about 52 miles off; but on the whole way there is not a place fit for the reception of man or horse.
