Angus has a proud maritime heritage and a wonderful coastline to
explore. While a formal coastal path remains in development there
are plenty of well-trod seaside paths and cliff top trails linking
fine beaches, dramatic geological features and secluded coves, all
with a story to tell. This book links up these paths and tracks to
create a 68km route, one that stretches from Broughty Ferry, in the
south, to the mouth of the River North Esk, the county's northern
boundary. 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. Beyond the harbour
town of Arbroath, spectacular cliffs, interspersed with craggy
coves, secret caves and unique geological features, rise from the
insistent ebb and flow of the tide. The coastline reaches its
highest point at Red Head, a towering sandstone promontory. From
there, 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 leads round the coast to Scurdie Ness lighthouse, standing
guard over the entrance to the county's busiest port, Montrose.
Fully illustrated, this guidebook includes clear mapping and a
wealth of background history, geography and wildlife information,
plus practical advice on accommodation, public transport and places
to eat and drink.
