Leading into some of the most atmospheric
of Scotland's unspoilt places, the Angus Glens
offers moorland colours, the scents of heather
and grasses, and fresh pure melt-water in the
high burns.
The Angus Glens include ten 'Munros' (mountains
of over 3,000 ft), and miles of narrow twisting
and bendy roads, offer great delights and challenges
for drivers, hill walkers, and nature lovers alike.
Arguably the most beautiful of the Angus Glens
is Glen Clova, (north of Kirriemuir). At the head
of Glen Clova is Glen Doll, where ancient narrow
roads and footpaths take you into the heart of
Scotland's Cairngorm
Mountains.
Hidden away behind a maze of country roads, northwest
of Brechin, lies Glen Lethnot, where the local
stream was used by illicit distillers who secreted
their stills in the corries. The track is known
today as the Whisky Trail. Another hidden gem
is Glen Prosen, where the narrow, twisty road
on the western side is a real drivers' road -
sweeping from bend to bend.
Look out for a summer Osprey in Glen Isla, or
visit a Royal stopover at Invermark Lodge and
Loch Lee in Glen Esk, where Queen Victoria once
stayed
