What's on inAngus

Angus is a stunning region that offers a magnificent glimpse of the classic Scotland of tourism brochures and television adverts.

A region made up of fertile rolling farmland, red and brown fields set against low green hills, broad valleys and romantic glens, scenic coastline and in the distance the picturesque Grampian Mountains.

Worth a visit in order to explore the regions historical sights all by themselves, Angus was home to the Picts between 600 and 800AD and there are numerous interesting Pictish sites and Pictish symbol stones that survive to this day.

Angus stretches all the way from Dundee to the borders of the highlands and includes vibrant up and coming cities, mountain peaks, white unspoiled beaches and coastline and idyllic bays.

At Montrose there is a world-famous Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Natutal Wildlife Reserve (also an area of outstanding natural beauty) that brings in bird watchers from all over the world.

Even Dundee itself, so long the poor cousin of Scottish cities, is enjoying something of a revival from its Blues festival to the quiet beaches of Broughton Ferry; from the birthplace of Desperate Dan and the Beano to the new wave of bars and restaurants filling the city.

Whether you want to hike the high Munro or stroll around the enchanting and alluring Lunan Bay, watch the sunset from the dramatic Boddin Point or play a round of golf at world famous Carnoustie Golf Links where champions have played since the sixteenth century with the Glens as a backdrop.

Angus has it all and with fewer crowds than other areas of Scotland is the perfect destination for a touring holiday.
