“I love spending a family day in Kirriemuir with my children, enjoying an
ice cream from Vissochis, a play at the Peter Pan Park and a walk in Kirrie
Den. I have wonderful childhood memories doing the same and love
that it remains a family favourite so many years later.”
Said Alison Elliott, Angus resident

Peter Pan Park, Kirriemuir
“I have amazing memories of going to Auchmithie for a family Sunday
afternoon out. Exploring the caves and rockpools, collecting stones.
I treasure the family photos I have there from when I was a little girl.”
Said Alison Smith, Visitor

Auchmithie Beach
“I love Angus because of the wide variety of wildlife you can see in
different areas like the coast, glens and woods around Kirriemuir. My
favourite thing to do is be out on my mountain bike up the Glens or
around the local paths by Loch of Kinnordy”
Said Ann Warren, Angus resident

Loch of Kinnordy
“Outdoors is my happy space and Angus has such a diverse landscape.
From the coast right up to the hills, there’s always a great range of
locations and experiences to enjoy.”
Said Norma, Angus resident

Carrot Hill
“Angus is a wonderful place to stay in. I can visit seaside or glens both
within an hour drive from each other. Every time my family come over,
we go to Lunan Bay and Glen Doll which are two of my favourite places
here. The views there are spectacular, and it is so peaceful.”
Said Krystian Kolaczyk, Angus resident

Lunan Bay
“I love the Angus Glens for the solitude you can experience on the hills.
There are few better places for hill walking than the head of the Glens.”
Said Mark Bennett, Angus resident

Glen Clova
“Having the Angus Glens on my doorstep is brilliant, as you can feel miles
away from everything in such a short space of time. Being able to go
there to hike and mountain bike is a real privilege of living in the area.”
Said Nick Warren-Bennett, Angus resident
