The Boddin Point Limekilns are a Category B listed building in Scotland.The easiest way to find them is to put the longitude and latitude into your satnav. The coordinates are:Latitude: 56°40'15.72"NLongitude: 2°28'8.83"W
Had never even heard of Elephant Rock despite it being virtually on our doorstep, but have made a few trips since discovering it. It’s on a very scenic windswept coastal pathway, bordered with glorious gorse and wildflowers- but beware the dog-poop, as this walk is very popular with negligent dog-walkers. On our last trip there , there were crazy youngsters sunbathing on what looked like a precarious upper area of the rock. The little family memorial en-route is very poignant, as are the fisherman’s cottages - sadly fallen to rack and ruin. This is also true of the limekilns , and there is a warning ⚠️ sign advising of the dangerous state of the building - so perhaps best to admire from afar. Nice views out to sea of sheltering vessels and across to the sands of lovely Lunan Bay.

ANGUSalive’s Gateway to the Glens Museum is situated in Kirriemuir Town House, a building that has been at the heart of Kirriemuir since its construction in 1604. The Museum opened in 2001 after the building was carefully restored and conserved. Here at Kirriemuir Gateway to the Glens Museum, local people and visitors to the town can discover the unique atmosphere of historic Kirriemuir and the splendour of the Angus Glens. Stepping through the door, visitors experience a vivid introduction to the history, culture and natural environment of ‘Kirrie’ and the western Angus glens, with recordings of local people, computer interactives and permanent displays. Illustrated talks and children’s events complement and develop the variety of temporary displays that take place throughout the year.

Even in the chilly damp cold of a Northeastern January morning in the Wee Red Town of Kirriemuir, the magnificent statue of Bon Scott in the Bellie's Brae Car Park still compels the great singer's admirers to congregate around it in well-behaved worship of their late rock-star hero. It's not an uncommon site here in our tight-knit community. In fact, I drove past a pretty pile of such people, chatting, admiring, taking and posing for photos, this very morning, and watched them awhile ... thought they might be probably Dutch. Anyway, the now well-established long-weekend annual bean-feast to the great Bon ... Kirriemuir's very own "The Bonfest" begins celebrating on May 3, 4 & 5. ... and the local caterers will be braced to provide all they require. Bon Scott is certainly an asset to the interesting little Scottish town of his birth.

Giving the current circumstances, we have taken the decision to close Tayside Police Museum until further notice. We look forward to opening our doors once again later in the year. Everyone please stay safe, stay well, and look out for one another.

OMG.....Gin lovers should absolutely give this a go, and Gin Haters should definitely try it!! We went just after Lockdown in the pouring rain, but it never dampened the visit!! Everything is on the level so if you are like me with mobility issues (on Crutches) then its easy accessed, may pose a bumpy problem for wheelchair users but I'm sure the taste of the gin will more than compensate for the bumps....lol we had Kim as our guide (founder of the Bothy Experience) and she was amazing, told us all about the methods in gin making, if this was a non covid visit she would have sang a few songs in the session too. All the staff are super friendly, and I can honestly say we will be back, its a great place to take visitors, or even just a wee day out to Glamis!! Whats also amazing is if you have a Driver, then they too still get the tasting experience as they take home a wee gin goody bag!!

Foremans Cottage is a stylish and sophisticated retreat on Lunan Bay Beach. It has been featured in many glossies and with its 3 bedrooms, one with ensuite roll top, drench showers, and open fireplaces and log burner, it is ideal for a romantic break, families and a get away from it all break. The beach at Lunan is idyllic all year round.
Great for walks. For a long stretch along the beach, a quick walk with the dog or just a wee stop off to have picnic and relax. The area is lovely and very large so there can be many visitors and you can still be far away from the nearest person. 100% worth a visit.

Built in 1901 in honor of David Ogilvy, the 9th Earl of Airlie, who was killed during the Boer War in South Africa.
The walk to the monument was manageable for all ages. Our group ranged from 3 years old to 65. The 360degree view from the top was tremendous with far-reaching views to the coast and across the mountains. We all enjoyed the afternoon
