The Beautiful Highland Village of BEAULY Near INVERNESS - Scotland Walking Tour | 4K | 60FPS

Beauly is a village in Scotland's Highland area, on the River Beauly, 12 miles (19 km) west of Inverness by the Far North railway line. The town is historically within Kilmorack Parish of the County of Inverness. The land around Beauly is fertile - historically corn was grown extensively and more recently fruit has successfully been farmed. The village historically traded in coal, timber, lime, grain, and fish. Beauly is the site of the Beauly Priory, or the Priory Church of the Blessed Virgin and John the Baptist, founded in 1230 by John Byset of the Aird, for Valliscaulian monks. Following the Reformation, the buildings (except for the church, which is now a ruin) passed into the possession of Lord Lovat. Local tradition has it that Mary, Queen of Scots, once visited Beauly and had exclaimed: "Ç'est un beau lieu", whereby came the name Beauly. Queen Mary, in 1563, hunted and took her summer journeys in the west and southwest of Scotland; but her brother James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray, came north to Inverness late in the autumn, with his two brothers, to hold courts and consolidate his power, and there first put into execution the new Act against witchcraft, sorcery, and necromancy, by burning two old women as witches. Today, Beauly is a beautiful town, popular with tourists and a great base for some countryside walking routes. Beaufort Castle is three miles south of the town, and Beauly Priory is situated just off Beauly Square in the town centre.
