We are situated
on Scotland's East coast, north of Dundee, Carnoustie, and
Arbroath. We are within easy driving distance of the beautiful Angus
Glens,
where you can see eagles, buzzards, deer and some of the most striking
scenery in Scotland.
Make the fairytale
complete with a trip to Kirriemuir birthplace of J. M. Barrie,
Peter Pan and Wendy (there is an ice-cream parlour to die for
opposite Peter's statue), see the amazing Millenium Fountain
whose water comes from an ancient well deep below your feet.
Leave
the car behind for the day and walk along the highest cliffs
on the
Angus coast, just half an hour from our door. See the Puffins and Gannets
fly in from the Bass Rock, a round trip of 100 miles a day, catch sight
of
dolphins leaping in the bay. Descend to the wild and unspoilt sandy beaches
of Lunan Bay, picnic in the dunes or walk along to Red Castle, here time
and
tide are taking their toll right before your eyes.
Not to be missed
a tour of Glamis Castle, made famous by Shakespeare in
Macbeth, and more recently the home of the late Queen Elizabeth
the Queen
Mother. Take time to visit the charming village of Glamis and
its interesting countryside musuem.
For those who love
ancient history visit the numerous Pictish Stones at St.
Vigeans, Meigle and Aberlemno, decorated with amazing ornate
carvings.
Spend
a day in the local fishing town of Arbroath with its working
harbour and numerous Smokie houses. Visit the historic abbey
and its visitor centre, learn more about David Beaton (who
lived at Ethie Castle) and see the amazing exhibition about
the Declaration of Arbroath penned by Bernard de Linton for
Robert the Bruce.
This is golfing
heaven with Carnoustie and St. Andrews Championship courses
almost round every corner, Edzell, Arbroath and Forfar to name
a few.
