Natural Environment

See Scotland in a day.

Angus is a great place to experience some perfect examples of the Scottish natural environment at its best.

2,200 square kilometres in area, and varying from high moorland to lush meadowland, sandy beach or tidal mudflats, Angus has all the variety of habitat you would expect. Look no further to discover what Scotland has to offer in a delightfully compact area.

 

Have breakfast by the sea, spend the day in the hills, and dine in style in the evening at one of Angus' excellent hotels or restaurants.

Whether you are a birdwatcher, walker, naturalist, or a parent with a lively family to entertain - Angus is the natural choice.

 Scottish Wildlife Trust 's Montrose Basin Visitor Centre is an ideal place to find out about all the species of birds and wildlife you can hope to see in the county. The Basin is a tidal estuary which shelters thousands of geese and waders in the winter, and welcomes visiting sand-martins, kingfishers, and ospreys in summer. See a huge variety of woodland and field birds at the Centre's feeders and on our webcam

From the Angus Glens in the north-west, to the magnificent Montrose Basin and the beautiful sweep of Lunan Bay on the east coast, and the gentle Sidlaw Hills in the south - at different times of year you'll find eagles, ospreys, deer, pink-footed geese, dolphins, seals, and wild flowers in bloom.
