If you head out of Forfar on the Arbroath, Montrose, or Old Brechin Roads, you can link a number of tracks to make a circuit which visits the ruins of Restenneth Priory, crosses Restenneth Moss and passes through Lunanhead.
Sturdy footwear is advised, as some of these paths may be muddy during wet weather. At times after wet weather, the path across the Moss may become flooded and impassable.
The Priory, is picturesquely situated above the Moss, is well worth a short detour from your walk. The site of the priory is routed to date back to the 7th century, when Nechtan macDerile, King of the Picts, sent for masons to build a church of stone. At that time, Restenneth Moss would have been a loch. It is now designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its wetland plants.
