ID:QZP40_CARD_0024DESCRIPTION:The choir stalls of St. Benedict's Abbey, Fort Augustus.
The fort at Fort Augustus was purchased from the government by the 14th Lord Lovat in 1867 for use as a shooting lodge. His successor leased the buildings to the Monastic Order of Benedictines in the 1870s who began converting the buildings into an abbey, school and monastery. The original reconstruction and extension was designed by Joseph Hansom (of Hansom cab fame) with further buildings added by Peter Paul Pugin, Reginald Fairlie, Charles Gray and William Watt Allan.PLACENAME:Fort AugustusDISTRICT:AirdSOURCE:Highland LibrariesCOLLECTION:Highland Libraries' Postcard CollectionAsset ID:31907KEYWORDS:
