A glen in the Braes of Angus, Glen Esk occupies the valley of the River North Esk.
At almost 15 miles long, Glen Esk is the longest of the Angus Glens and is still a thriving community, with inhabited houses all the way up the glen. The magnificent ruins of Invermark Castle guard the way to Loch Lee, the beautiful stretch of water at the head of the glen.
The village of Edzell lies at the mouth of the glen.
