A Highland Council-led project has successfully brought Wi-Fi to two highland communities, namely Drumnadrochit and Fort Augustus. The project, which is part of the Inverness and Highland City-Region Deal aims to roll out the service to additional 14 communities.

 

Leader of the Highland Council Margaret Davidson said: “This project is fantastic news for all of these towns and villages and I am sure it will be welcomed by residents and visitors. Drumnadrochit and Fort Augustus are busy tourist villages and people need ready access to get online.

 

“Digital connectivity is essential these days for daily life and the free access to WiFi will enable visitors and locals to make the most of local businesses by checking what’s on, where to visit, opening hours, accommodation and prices, as well as finding local job opportunities and keeping in touch with family and friends.

 

“High-Fi will be great for posting photos of this beautiful area on social media and helping to promote the Glen, and all the Highland region offers, to the wider world.”
