Fort Augustus Abbey School – Old Boys Association

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 a network amongst Old Boys and to organise an annual dinner for Old Boys and their partners. This website assists to maintain this contact and support. Please bear in mind that this website is run by Old Boys from the school who have nothing to do with the monastery, school nor Benedictine Order.

More information about the Old Boys Association and how to join and support us can be found here.

Rev Dom Francis Davidson, OSB RIP

1939 – 2018

The Old Boys Association have been informed of the recent passing of one of our headmasters, Fr Francis Davidson. Fr Francis died at Ampleforth Abbey very peacefully on Monday 9 April. His funeral was held at Ampleforth Abbey on 16 April and he is buried in the Monk’s wood there.

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.
