Just 20 minutes from Dundee airport, right in the centre of Scotland and with easy access from all cities. The nearest town is Forfar, just 4 miles away, famous for Strathmore Springs mineral water. The ancient town is home to a vast amount of historical interest, dating back to the Roman Invasions, when a succession of Roman camps were established North of Forfar. The town also has numerous shops and a leisure centre nearby.
Close to the Angus Glens, there are plenty of outdoor pursuits to entertain guests at Kinnettles Castle, with the annual walking festival in the summer a favourite. There are five glens to explore, each with unique characteristics and besides the popular hillwalking there are plenty of other activities on offer from game shooting and fishing to museums and cathedrals.
The village of Glamis is close by and is perhaps best known historically for its association with the William Shakespeare play MacBeth. It is a pretty village and is also known for the fairy-tale like Glamis Castle, where Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother spent much of her childhood. The castle and grounds are open to visitors and offer a relaxing day out.
