The Angus coastline is a truly wondrous place to walk. Between Monifieth and the estuary of the River North Esk an exceptionally varied landscape awaits. From the Firth of Tay, the mouth of Scotland’s longest river, sandy beaches, backed by a gently rolling grassy hinterland, give way to more rugged and dramatic scenery. North of Arbroath, spectacular cliffs, interspersed with craggy coves, secret caves and unique geological features, rise from the insistent ebb and flow of the tide. Beyond the cliff top village of Auchmithie, the coastline reaches its highest point at Red Head, a towering sandstone promontory.
The terrain softens again, the forgotten hamlets of Ethie Haven and Corbie Knowe lying at the southern end of Lunan Bay, a sweep of golden sand. However, a more exposed and inhospitable stretch of shoreline leads round the coast to Scurdie Ness lighthouse, standing guard over the entrance to the county’s busiest port, Montrose.
Illustrated with maps and photographs, this handy guidebook describes in detail a 68km multi-day walk along the Angus coast. It includes clear mapping and a wealth of background history, geography and wildlife information, plus practical advice on accommodation, public transport, places to eat, etc.
