Angus is an area of outstanding beauty, from the rugged coastline of the east coast through the Valley of Strathmore to the scenic glens of Glenisla, Glen Prosen, Glen Esk and the jewel in the crown – Glen Clova. The Angus towns all have their own unique character. Monifieth and Carnoustie are renowned for their golf courses. Carnoustie hosted the 2007 Open Golf Championships.
 
Arbroath, the largest town is famous for its Smokies. It has a picturesque Harbour which used to be full of fishing boats but is now a yachting marina.  Arbroath Abbey is where the Declaration of Independence was signed.
 

Also on the coast is Montrose which is an oil port. It overlooks a two mile wide tidal lagoon  which is a wildlife sanctuary of international importance. The Montrose basin is visited every year by thousands of pink footed geese.
 

Brechin is located in the Angus countryside and is a Cathedral City. Brechin Cathedral is famous for its ancient round tower – one of only two in Scotland.
 
Kirriemuir known as the Gateway to the Glens is also famed for its relationship with J.M. Barrie and Peter Pan. Because of its proximity to the Angus Glens and hills it is an ideal base for ramblers and hill-walkers or mountaineers.
 

Forfar is a bustling market town and is of course famous for its Bridies. The Ancestral home of the Earls of Strathmore, Glamis Castle is only a few miles outside Forfar.
 

Angus has several fine beaches which include Montrose, Lunan Bay and Carnoustie.  Montrose and Lunan Bay both boast fine sand dunes with long stretches of golden sand. There are dramatic cliffs at Boddin Point and Arbroath. The fishing village of Aucmithie is situated between Arbroath and Montrose. There is the remains of an old Harbour with steep and dramatic cliffs for a backdrop.
