Time for a break in historic Angus

There are many options nearby, from world-famous luxury hotels to an array of hidden gems for visitors to discover.
Classic children’s stories in Kirriemuir
Just five miles away is Kirriemuir, the birthplace of the playwright and author of Peter Pan, JM Barrie. A statue of the boy who never grows old stands in the town square in tribute to the classic children’s book. An ancient town steeped in stories of witchcraft and Pictish stones from another time, Kirriemuir is home to the Airlie Arms, a traditional family hotel with comfortable accommodation and home-made bar lunches and suppers served daily.
Journey to the coast
Angus is home to some of Scotland’s oldest and most well-known coastal towns. Head east from Glamis to visit Arbroath, Carnoustie, Lunan Bay and Montrose. Each has a variety of self-catering, bed & breakfast, caravanning, glamping and hotel options. None more celebrated than the Carnoustie Golf Hotel with 96 suites overlooking their Championship course.
A Scottish beach holiday
Scotland is well known for its sometimes dreary weather, but when the sun is out, our beaches are truly beautiful. Arbroath, one of Scotland’s oldest towns, is home to a number of holiday parks perfect for those who love a caravan holiday. Directly opposite West Sands beach is Red Lion Holiday Park where caravanners can enjoy a host of attractions including crazy golf and the popular miniature railway.
Experience life on a farm
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live on a farm? At Newton Farmhouse B&B, winner of ‘Most Hospitable B&B in Scotland 2018/19 by VisitScotland, visitors can experience life on a farm while staying in the comfort of a beautiful family home and enjoy eggs from the farm’s very own hens at breakfast. During the farm tours, led by farmers Graeme and Louise, visitors meet friendly cows, sheep, goats, alpacas and Lucy, the micropig.
A romantic getaway
For couples looking for some time together away from the stresses and fast pace of everyday life, The Hideaway is the perfect place to switch off and rejuvenate. Nestled in the countryside at Auchterhouse near Dundee, The Hideaway offers seclusion but is still near the city and just 10 miles from Glamis Castle.
Discover Dundee
With the City of Discovery sitting 12 miles south of Glamis Castle, Dundee can be the perfect base for visitors exploring the area. At Dundee’s waterfront sits the Apex City Quay Hotel, a contemporary four-star hotel that’s a five-minute walk to the city centre.
