Glen Prosen, Angus

A glen in the southern Grampians, Glen Prosen occupies the valley of the Prosen Water in the Braes of Angus. There is a memorial cairn at the foot of the glen dedicated to the memory of the Antarctic explorers Captain Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1922) and Dr Edward Wilson (1872-1912) who used to visit this locality.

Glenprosen village sits on the slopes of the Hill of Spott and overlooking the Prosen Water on Tulloch Hill is the Airlie Monument, a copy of one of the towers of Airlie Castle erected to the memory of the 9th Earl of Airlie, who was killed in the Boer War.
