Further details
Angus is one of the great secrets of Scotland. It has it all - fabulous beaches, gentle rolling arable farms and the stunning Angus Glens. There are many excellent local tourist attractions and you are well placed to visit attractions further afield. The weather is often cool but you can be pleasantly surprised by beautifully sunny and warm days even in April and it is dryer here than in the West. Thankfully the gentle breezes mean that midges are never a problem here at Kinblethmont! Our local town is Arbroath with a pretty marina and harbour where you can still see Arbroath smokies being smoked. It has several supermarkets, butchers, fishmongers etc and many other useful shops and well as some nice restaurants. There are theatres, cinemas and tourist attractions in Dundee only 1/2 hour away. Attractions of historic interest include Glamis castle, Stirling Castle, Scone palace, Donnatar castle all within driving distance as well as the magnificent ruins of Arbroath Abbey. The local beach at Lunan Bay about 10 minutes away is breathtaking, whereas Montrose beach has an excellent childrens play area and cafe. There is lots of hillwalking just a away short trip away in the Angus glens (about 1 hour) and the area is particularly suitable for cycling. There is sea fishing arranged from Arbroath harbour and loch and river fishing nearby also. Many of our guests have used us as a base for visiting Scotland's attractions further afield. There is a lovely train journey from Arbroath into the very centre of Edinburgh which makes an excellent day out.
