The village is served by the A82 road and lies approximately midway between Inverness (56&nbsp;km) and Fort William (51&nbsp;km).

The village was served by a [[Invergarry and Fort Augustus Railway|rail line]] from [[Spean Bridge]] to [[Fort Augustus Pier railway station|a terminus]] on the banks of Loch Ness from 1903 until 1933, built by the [[Invergarry and Fort Augustus Railway]] in the hope of eventually completing a line to Inverness and latterly operated by the [[North British Railway]] and its successor, the [[London and North Eastern Railway]], but initially operated by the [[Highland Railway]]. The [[Caledonian Canal]] connecting Fort William to [[Inverness]] passes through Fort Augustus in a dramatic series of locks stepping down to Loch Ness.

The village is served by the Cill Chuimein Medical Centre.<ref>[http://www.streetwise-highland.org/list.asp?subject=5 ICSH – Home] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070312081011/http://www.streetwise-highland.org/list.asp?subject=5 |date=12 March 2007 }}</ref>
