Fort Augustus Old Boys Association

The Old Boys Association serves to keep the spirit alive of The Fort Augustus Old Boys; the former pupils -  boys and girls - who served at the Abbey School in Fort Augustus.  Since the School closed in the 90s (and subsequently the Abbey itself), the Old Boys Association has maintained to provide support amongst Old Boys and to organise an annual diiner for Old Boys and their partners. This website assists to maintain this contact and support.

However, the Old Boys Association has fewer members than the number of Old Boys who use the site and the forums.  As an Association, the FAOBA provides the annual dinner and provides contributions where it is called upon.  Membership is £10 per annum or £100 for a life membership.  If you are an Old Boy and would like to support the Association to continue in its task, you are strongly encouraged to join by contacting Ralph Guilianotti on 01738 624674.

Mike Drummond RIP

This website is a tribute to Mike Drummond - one of our Old Boys (Carlekemp 1951-1956, Abbey 1956 to 1961). Mike set up the website and maintained it until his sad passing in April. Without his initiative and perseverance, many Old Boys would not be in touch today. As a man of vision, it is only right that we keep the website going. Without the right skills, this may be a challenge but we'll try. Thanks Mike for everything you did for us.

Ralph Guilianotti has put together some interesting dates that we thought you might like to see. We are hoping that this will bring up some interesting discussions in the  Abbey Forum. Link to Chronology
