  1. The harbour in the ancient town of Arbroath in Angus. There seems to have been a port of some sort here in Pictish times and later the town's abbey was the birthplace of the most important document in Scottish history. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/arb

  3. The beautiful, and surprisingly extensive, remains of Arbroath Abbey in the heart of Arbroath in Angus. The abbey was founded in 1178 by King William I for a group of Tironensian monks previously resident at Kelso Abbey. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/arb

  4. The Glamis Manse symbol stone, a remarkably impressive example of a Pictish cross slab measuring 2.8m (or over nine feet) high. it is very unusual in that it seems to have been carved in two stages, possibly at widely different times. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/gla

  7. Nice afternoon outing, to Monifieth Library and MAC centre cafe, with a funfair outside. Then off to Broughty Ferry, Maison Dieu coffee shop, the Bookhouse bookshop, and chips from Murrays eaten by the seaside. Yum. The queue for Visocchis ice cream was too long for us to tackle today! Very popular. #Dundee #Angus #Monifieth #BroughtyFerry #Scotland

  8. Still agog at our desserts tonight. The Milton Inn in Monifieth's signature cheesecake, a vanilla base, with today's topping on it. Banoffee flavour today. They close permanently in just 9 days ...

  10. It's not really felt like a by-election day here for us! Because we both voted by post weeks ago. But we will have a new MP sometime overnight. Good luck to the counters in Arbroath. #Politics #Dundee #Angus #Scotland

  12. Lovely dinner in a restaurant in our home town which is closing soon due to owner retirement. Will be greatly missed. The food, service and ambience are brilliant, and we've enjoyed going there for many years. Glad to be back one more time. Also ate too much food, but hey it's the last chance there! #Scotland #Monifieth #Angus #Food #Dundee

  13. The "passing figures" statue along the Broughty Ferry promenade.

  14. The wonderful two-mile long beach at Lunan Bay, on the coast of Angus south of Montrose. Backed by dunes and a ruined castle and framed by low cliffs to the north and south, this is high on our list of Scotland's best beaches. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/mon

  16. I’m getting up tomorrow morning at the same time that I went to bed last night!

    We’ve booked ourselves on the 4:30 Dawn Chorus walk with Sustainable Kirriemuir. The weather looks good, albeit cold (1°C). Let’s hope the birds have got the memo.

  17. Restenneth Priory, a mile and a half east of Forfar in Angus. The priory has origins dating back thirteen centuries and occupies the site of a stone church built for King Nechtan of the Picts in the years after 715. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/for
