About this event
To celbrate the BIS-200 Year Anniversary the Benevolent Irish Society (BIS) has participated in the creation of this Historic Tour of the St. Patrick's Ancestral Cemetery in Ft. Augustus. The Ft. Augustus Oroginal Settler's Association spearheaded a project in recent years to give a facelift to their ancestral cemetery. In support of the BIS-200 Year Anniversary, because many Irish settlers are buried in this cemetery, the BIS has created a brochure to accompany the tour.
The tour takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete and after the tour is finished there is Celtic music and a light lunch in Paddy's Pub next to the Church, both of which are included in the tour. The Tour brochure is a nice keepsake of the event.
The tour begins at the Church steps at 13:45 and the tour will start at 14:00. Pat Duffy of the Ft. Augustus Irish Descendants Association will be your tour guide.
