Angus And Dundee

Overview

A visit to the ancient land of Angus and the east coast city of Dundee rewards you with unspoiled highland glens, stunning rugged coastlines and a vibrant and cosmopolitan urban centre.

The Angus glens offer a real treasure trove of hill walking while, if you fancy a change of scenery, the Angus coastline provides another dimension for the rambler with miles of sandy beaches or rugged coastlines to explore.

Once Scotland's ancient and historic heartland, the area is also rich in historical and cultural gems. A range of stunning visitor attractions reveal the country's roots from the earliest times right through to the present day with the ancestral home of the late Queen Mother at Glamis Castle.

The area also has much to offer in world-class sporting and leisure activities, particularly with championship golf at Carnoustie now synonymous with other internationally renowned golfing destinations like St Andrews and Gleneagles.

For a completely different change of scene, be sure to visit Dundee. The city has a lively arts scene and a blossoming cultural quarter where thought-provoking art and literature sit alongside cosmopolitan cinema and theatre. As you visit the city today, you could bump into Desperate Dan, circle around a dragon, become a polar explorer, shop 'till you drop, test your senses, visit the theatre, go ice skating, swimming, or have a game of golf. Whatever appeals, Scotland's City of Discovery promises you a fantastic day out.
