An added attraction in Kirriemuir is the Camera Obscura. The weather in the area is some of the best in the whole of the United Kingdom, being sheltered by mountains on the west from most of the rain. Days are long in the summer - sometimes there is still a little light at midnight and dawn is not long after. There are many good walks within easy reach, both high and low level. There are water sports centres at Loch Tay and Loch Earn.
Bird watching is good.
Ospreys nest there and otters can be seen in the Loch. The RSPB centre at Vane Farm is about 30 miles away.
