Angus is the historical heartland of Scotland, a county where the past
has left an indelible mark on the present. Prehistoric forts, ancient
castles and Pictish standing stones dot a rich and varied landscape
where bracing coastal hikes, tranquil riverside rambles, sheltered
woodland wanders and more challenging hill ascents await the walker.
Each walk entry begins with distance, time and terrain
together with an outline of the walk area followed by route finding
instructions and a simple colour sketch map. Colour photographs are also
included throughout the book. The book divides the walks into five
sections as follows:
Dundee, Auchterhouse and Newtyle
Forfar, Glamis and Glen Clova
Kirriemuir and Glen Isla
Brechin, Edzell and Glen Esk
Along the Angus Coast
