Beauly was a pleasant stop on a visit to this beautiful area recently. I was really taken with the priory. Easy access off the main road and town, we were able to walk around the priory and enjoy the red sandstone buildings. A great attraction to visit for free in a very special town.

We set off from Inverness early on a Sunday morning for our 500 mile+ tour of Scotland and Beauly is the first village en route. Despite the shops etc still being shut we were able to walk around the ruins of this priory both inside and out.
The information boards explain the history of the priory and you get a real sense of history whilst standing in it's midst.
Definitely worth a stop

I’m not too sure why people say this is a ‘must see’ and I’m a history graduate. It’s a small priory that would take you less than 30 minutes to look around, so if it’s on your way check it out, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to visit.
Beauly is a lovely village with some great lunch spots (corner on the square) and an amazing (but high quality and a high price) highland attire shop called Campbells. So there is a bit more to do than just the priory.

My wife and I stayed there for 1 night and wish it had been longer. We got a phone call the day before we arrived to check what was required in our room due to COVID which also sped the check in up.
The staff were helpful and friendly.
We had dinner and breakfast and the food was of a high standard. Although it is a fairly decent size of hotel it has a family feel around it

lovely place to visit. Website said it was closed but you can still access most of it. Beautiful in autumn even in the rain. Nice guide boards providing interesting info and insight. In the centre of a nice village, which is nice to walk around. Easy parking

An interesting old ruin near the centre of Beauly. Closed at present. On,y possible to walk round the outer walls. Possibly open again once the Covid restrictions are totally removed.

For Outlander Fans, there is a neat little mausoleum close to the Beauly Priory. You can go visit the place where the "Old Fox" Fraser is said to be buried with his sons and daughters in law. Visit!

I’m downtown Beauly, you will be able to see the ruins of this priory. It is free to enter, but remember to be respectful of all those buried here. Apparently part of Outlander was filmed here if that’s your thing.

This is one of 3 Scottish priorities founded by the French monks. The building was build in 1230 and completed in 1272. Beauly is a beautiful little town in the Highlands and this old Priory it worth a visited.

We are going on an Outlander Tour, on the itinerary we are going to "Bealu and its 13th century cathedral, (where Claire met the prophtess)".
Is this where they are taking us and I wonder if they know the info about the Old Fox that you mentioned. Did you do a tour? How do I find this once there?

If it's Inverness Day Tours, then yes this is it. (Sorry if I'm too late with this)
