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.
These are the Angus hills and glens … steeped in history and little changed
over the passing centuries.
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 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
mail@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
