When the first winter chills hit the air, a bracing day in Angus and Dundee offers a host of pursuits to enjoy, even in the shorter days.

Walking in the Angus Glens can be especially enjoyable on crisp winter days, with a light fall of snow crunching underfoot.

Hotels and pubs nestling in the glens offer a cosy haven for food and drink at the end of your day's walk.

For skiing enthusiasts, Glenshee is just over the border from Angus and is only a short drive away.

Or perhaps you prefer ice-skating. Dundee Ice Arena offers a huge range of ice sports for all ages at its centrally located Olympic sized rink.
