The village of Beauly is located in the heart of the Highlands. This is a great location for touring, with Loch Ness, the old Caledonian pine forests of Glen Affric and Strathfarrar, and the seashore all within easy reach. Beauly gets its name from the French word "beau lieu," which means "beautiful spot," and the community takes pleasure in being both scenic and well-kept. The ruined 13th-century priory, which the community was constructed around, is one of Beauly's features.
