Holiday accommodation in Angus

Go hiking in the Angus Glens

Angus is the perfect destination for a walking holiday, with an abundance of spectacular scenery and natural beauty to explore. For some of the best walking in Scotland, head to the Angus Glens, a collection of glens that stretch into the Cairngorms National Park and offer a diverse landscape of hills, valleys, woodlands and Munros (mountains in Scotland over 3,000 feet). Follow the meandering River South Esk in Glen Clova, renowned for its stunning scenery, or hike the Munros of Mayar and Driesh in Glen Doll. The Angus Glens offer incredible opportunities for birdwatching and wildlife spotting, such as roaming red deer, soaring golden eagles, river-dwelling otters, and the elusive Scottish wildcat. Our log cabins and lodges in Angus provide a wonderful base for exploring this enchanting part of the UK, with facilities like a private hot tub or cosy open fire adding an extra touch of luxury to your stay.

Visit historic sites like Glamis Castle & Arbroath Abbey

Angus is a county steeped in history, from medieval abbeys and grand castles to heritage railways and historic harbours. Depending on how long you have here, there are two sites that should come top of your list. The first is Glamis Castle. Shrouded in myth and legend, this majestic castle is one of Scotland's finest with a history that can be traced back to the 14th century. It has strong ties to the British royal family as, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, spent her childhood at Glamis, and it was the birthplace of Princess Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth II. The second must-visit site in Angus is Arbroath Abbey, a significant religious site and symbol of Scotland's struggle for independence. Founded in 1178 by King William the Lion, the historic abbey features a mix of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles, and has endured periods of conflict and warfare, notably during the Wars of Independence. You can visit the abbey as part of the Arbroath Abbey Heritage Trail, a 90-minute trail that begins at Arbroath Harbour and takes you to the town's notable historic sites. Book a dog-friendly holiday in Scotland and bring your four-legged friend along for the walk.
