Kirriemuir is known as the “Gateway to the Glens” as just a short drive from the town takes you to the start of these much celebrated and visually stunning Glens. The five Glens from West to East reach far into the foothills of the towering Grampian Mountains and act as an access to the southern edge of the Cairngorms National Park.

The network of quiet roads leading from Kirriemuir to the Angus Glens, each with a wealth of parking and picnic spots, affords everyone the opportunity to enjoy some of the most strikingly beautiful and contrasting scenery in Scotland.
With so many opportunities for a wide range of outdoor pursuits from gentle rambles to hill walking to serious mountaineering the Glens offer something for all ages and interests alike.
