Angus

The Category Angus is a subset of North East Scotland.

Usually held Late May.

'Formed in 1963 to "encourage public interest in hill walking", and has thrived since these early days, gaining a reputation as a friendly family club. Members come from most parts of Angus, with a few from further afield. The current membership is around 80 and consists of members of all ages.'

'The Heart of Scotland Group of the Long Distance Walkers Association arranges walks roughly in the area of Perth & Kinross, Fife, Angus, Tayside and Stirling ... LDWA members and friends, whether from the area or not, are warmly invited to come on the walks.'

'Whatever time of year you come, make sure you experience the excellent views from the three hides – you're just as likely to see otters, red squirrels and deer as wildfowl, not to mention many species of butterflies and dragonflies too ...'

RSPB

'They provide easy walking trails through woodland and beside the man-made lochs that are the central feature of both parks. The parks are not easy to link with longer walking routes, except on roads, but there is an attractive route from Monikie west for about 2 miles (3 km) to the B978 at Lovehall, just north of Wellbank village. A good country walk, but can be muddy at times.'

'Angus is ideal walking country, at all levels of ability. Walkers have the best opportunity of any visitor to see the wildlife and the glorious scenery in Angus - the rolling fields between towns and the countryside, the magnificent terrain of the glens and mountains, and the coastal panorama of surging seas, sweeping beaches and steep cliffs ...'

'From Dundee, the City of Discovery, to the highland hills of Angus merging into the Cairngorm National Park this superb region offers a variety of exhilarating walking experiences.'

VisitScotland

'You can enjoy access rights responsibly on most land, but many people prefer to use paths. We have developed paths and path networks to make it easier for you to enjoy the outdoors. We have created path networks around the main towns, where most people live ... We have also prepared a Core Paths Plan for Angus. This identifies a basic framework of paths throughout Angus. Over the next few years we will try to signpost all the core paths and make them accessible.'

Angus Council

'The towns of Angus are well preserved, unspoiled and full of character and each has their own Heritage Trail showing many interesting buildings and features ... Whether you are looking to find out more about family from this area or would like to enjoy a fantastic heritage trail, we look forward to welcoming you to Angus.'

Angus Heritage

The Eastern Cairngorms Access Project 'was a £2.4m programme to develop Countryside Access, that restored damaged landscapes and improved visitor facilities within the mountains and glens of Angus and Upper Deeside. The Project was made possible by a partnership between a consortium of public and private sector bodies'.

Alert Angus Council seem to have archived the descriptions of the Walks formerly accessible via their Web Site. So I have replaced the Link here (but I have retained the Titles of the Walks originally featured).
