THE ANGUS GLENS "This is an area of unspoilt natural wilderness where little has changed over the passing years. Walkers will discover high mountains, remote lochs, steep sided glens and tumbling burns. Ancient mounth paths once used by cattle drovers, caterans and whisky smugglers cross large areas of upland plateaux. Rare alpine plants, large herds of red deer and birds such as golden eagle, buzzard, dotterel and ring ouzel can be seen. There is a remoteness and a solitude and an absence of people." This site
has been constructed for the benefit of those who enjoy the great outdoors
and would like to find out what is available in the Angus hills.
It is by no means a comprehensive guide to every walk but is meant
to give a flavour of what is available. Distances given are
approximate and are for guidance only. Walkers who venture out
onto the hills should be aware that conditions can change rapidly and full
hillwalking gear should always be carried. If conditions are
such that navigational skills are required and you are not confident in your
navigational abilities then don't go! If you are interested in
any particular glen then click on the link to take you to that page.
Because I have led groups in the Angus hills, and beyond, for many years, I have an intimate knowledge of the area and its history. If you would like more detailed information on a particular area or a particular walk then e-mail me at hillwalking@gordonsnedden.co.uk The reason why I maintain this site is because I have a great enthusiasm for the hills of Scotland, and the glens of Angus in particular because I live in Angus. and I would like other people to share in what I have enjoyed over many years. If you are involved with a group and would like a talk on "The History of the Angus Glens" then please contact me by email in the first instance. The principal glens are as follows and clicking on the glen of your choice will take you to a separate page with details of walks, history, etc.
