Description From Owner:

5 mi SW of Mount Stewart in Lot 36. Named by Father John Macdonald, probably for Fort Augustus, Inverness, Scotland. Formerly called Five Houses. P.O. c1853-1966.
That place was named for Prince William Augustus (1721-65), Duke of Cumberland, known to the Scots as 'Butcher Cumberland.'
Given the feelings of the Scots towards Augustus, it is surprising this place name has survived.
