Neighbourhoods
The beautiful village of Edzell is described as the 'jewel in the crown of Angus'.
Through the Dalhousie Arch at the entrance to the village, the long, wide and ruler-straight main street is lined with neat 19th century buildings, now doing a roaring trade as gentle teashops and antique emporia.
The original village (identifiable from the cemetery and surrounding grassy mounds) lay immediately to the west of the wonderfully explorable red sandstone ruins of Edzell Castle, itself a mile west of the planned village. The square tower is the most notable feature of the beautiful walled renaissance garden, known as the Pleasance, which dates from the early 17th century. The chequered arrangement of blue and white lobelia in the wall recesses reflects the heraldic colours of the Lindsays, and the dwarf box hedge borders are cut to give the family's mottoes.
The village also offers picturesque riverside walks through spectacular scenery from Gannochy Bridge to the Rocks of Solitude, where salmon leap to reach their spawning ground.

Forfar dates back to the temporary Roman occupation of the area, and was subsequently held by the Picts and the Kingdom of Scotland. It was occupied by the English before being recaptured by the Scots and presented to Robert the Bruce during the Scottish Wars of Independence. Forfar has been both a traditional market town and a major manufacturing centre for linen and jute. Today the main activities are agriculture and tourism around scenic Strathmore. The local glens are visited by hill-walkers, and there are ski-slopes in the mountains. The town has a League One football club, Forfar Athletic and a National League rugby team, the Strathmore Silverbacks.
The Forfar bridie, a Scottish meat pastry snack, is traditionally identified with the town.
