This much-loved home of the earls of Strathmore, Glamis is a sleepy and extremely picturesque conservation area, where you will find thatched cottages, the Angus folk Museum and St. Fergus' Kirk with its Pictish stone. The earliest records of Kirriemuir date from the 13th century, but it is possible that there has been a settlement on this site since prehistoric times. The Royal Burgh of Forfar stands on what was once the centre of the kingdom of the Picts - the region's first settlers. In days of a bygone era, Dundee prided itself on its thriving industries, a legacy still celebrated today. Although the industries with which Broughty Ferry was once associated are now gone, the town remains a lovely holiday destination and a pleasant waterfront suburb of Dundee.
