For those of an artistic nature who enjoy browsing in art galleries ranging from the large public collections and museums to the family-run businesses exhibiting local talent, Angus and Dundee is the place for you.

Dundee's Albert Square is home to the magnificent McManus Galleries, which houses a fabulous collection of artworks, and award-winning local history, archaeology, and wildlife displays.

World-renowned contemporary art is displayed at the Dundee Contemporary Arts in the city's cultural quarter. With two spacious galleries, it has an ever-changing exhibition programme, covering every medium from sculpture to photography.

For the latest original artworks from some of the finest contemporary artists in Scotland, look no further than in Broughty Ferry, where a two storey gallery stocks a fine range of signed limited edition prints.

Craftwork thrives in Angus and Dundee, with weekly demonstrations of skills like quilting and patchwork at Lintrathen, and the design and manufacture of woollen goods at Kingoldrum.

For pottery, stoneware, sculpture and raku, check out potteries at Montrose and Oathlaw, which are both well worth a visit
