The northern-most coastal town in Angus is the Royal Burgh of Montrose - a proud little town whose pink-grey buildings radiate history and tell of a time when this was the prosperous home of merchants, sea captains and wealthy landowners.
One of the town's greatest attractions is its two mile wide tidal lagoon - a wildlife sanctuary of international importance.
Its mussel and reed beds provide a nature reserve for migrant birds.
Seals and several thousand ducks and geese are regular visitors.
Osprey and kingfishers have also been spotted here.
Montrose has a fine beach and the spectacular sands of St. Cyrus and Lunan bay.
Montrose is located in Scotland:
137 km away from Edinburgh
