Foyers (Scottish Gaelic: Foithir, meaning "shelving slope")[1] is a village in the Highland council area of Scotland,[2] lying on the east shore of Loch Ness.

The village is situated on the B852, part of the Military Road built by General George Wade, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Fort Augustus.

[4] Foyers is the location of Boleskine House, two miles east of the main town, which was the home of author and occultist Aleister Crowley.

[6] At 12pm on 13 February 1941, the Aluminium Works at Foyers was bombed by the Luftwaffe, causing Furnaceman, Murdo MacLeod, a fatal heart attack, and killing Fitter, Archibald MacDonald, as he walked along the adjacent tramway which took a near direct hit.

The factory was later visited by HRH Prince George, Duke of Kent, who was killed the following year in the Dunbeath air crash.
