LATEST NEWS ........ Watch this site for details of a new project, starting at Easter 2010 to run historical tours in the Angus glens.........The emotive issue of electric fences and access through/across them is being addressed by the Angus Council access officer.
There are other remote places in Scotland, with higher mountains and more spectacular views, but there is nowhere else where you can travel up steep-sided glens leading to high plateaux where you can walk all day and never meet another soul.  No other place where you can be so alone with your thoughts and at one with the buzzards, hawks, eagles and large herds of red deer.  These are the Angus hills and glens … steeped in history and little changed over the passing centuries. 

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.

 THE ANGUS GLENS


                                                                      

 

The 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 and glens.   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, and 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 "Tales from the Angus Glens" then please contact me by email at presentations@gordonsnedden.co.uk
