Welcome to Angus

Angus is an area of outstanding natural beauty, which captures the very essence of Scotland.

Situated on Scotland's glorious northeast coast, the county is home to Arbroath Abbey, the birthplace of the historic Declaration of Scottish Independence in 1320. Breathtaking mountains, magnificent glens and a rugged coastline provide the stunning backdrop to the seaside towns and market burghs of Angus today.

A historic but forward looking county, Angus' economy has grown from its agricultural and seafaring origins and now supports a diverse portfolio of business from the oil industry to advanced digital media, taking in textiles, pharmaceuticals and engineering on the way.

Angus has so much to offer residents, visitors and business. Find out what Angus can offer you, a warm welcome awaits.
