From here, you're ideally placed to explore some of the region’s most treasured landmarks. Discover the fairy-tale splendour of nearby Glamis Castle, admire the ancient Pictish Stone at Eassie, or head into Dundee to explore the cutting-edge V&A Museum. The area is also famous for its rich agricultural heritage - expect farm shops bursting with freshly picked berries, seasonal vegetables, and the renowned Eassie asparagus.
