Nature Reserves and Bird watching

Montrose Basin is the largest tidal estuary on the Scottish east coast, covering 750 hectares with over 80,000 migratory birds visiting each year. Nearby St Cyrus offers over 3 miles of golden sand and grassy dunes, with ample opportunities for a picnic on the beach. There are numerous lochs and bird hides throughout the Angus glens, waiting to be discovered by the patient nature observer.

Animals and Wildlife Centres

Just outside the glen are plenty places for animal lovers, including the Donkey Sanctuary, Camperdown Zoo, Murton Farm, Alyswood Rare Breads, Pathead Horse Centre, and several local farms open to visitors.

On our own smallholding we also have many friendly pets!
