Angus & Dundee Vacation Rentals

Angus & Dundee Holiday Information and Travel Guide to Angus & Dundee.
Look southward, and you will see the Firth of Tay. Cast your eyes to the east, and you will behold the vastness of the North Sea. You are in Angus. Why not take a holiday or vacation rental in this historic county?
Falling away on either side of the great Highland Boundary Fault that cuts it in half, Angus offers a Highland whose plateaus rise to thousands of feet. Here nestle beautiful glens with magical names: Clova, Esk, Isla. These old sorceresses show scars in their hoary faces; the ancient glaciers gouged ribbon-like lakes into them. These are the lochs of legend, left for us like deep etchings.
Head down from the Highland to the “howe of Angus” - that’s the Strathmore valley, rich in deposits bequeathed by those glaciers. If you choose your holiday or vacation rental here, you can roam the Hills of Sidlaw; or perhaps you’ll prefer the shores, with their high beaches and windy sand dunes.
Have you ever dreamed of walking where the ferocious Picts once fought? Make for Menmuir and seek out the Caterthuns, or go to Finavon, and you will find the ruins of forts built in these hills by the Pictish; perhaps you will feel inspired to daub your own face with rich blue woad - unless you’re merely thinking of Mel Gibson. But you’ll be following in mighty footsteps: it was the people of Angus who saw off a Viking invasion a thousand years ago.
Suitably stirred by historic warfare, and pleasantly tired by hill walking, you’re ready for Dundee - Scotland’s fourth largest city in terms of population - nestling on the Tay Firth. War-torn throughout the Middle Ages, Dundee grew in the 1800s from a fishing town into one of the main ports for Scots whaling. This led in turn to a massive jute industry - canvas and rope can be woven from basic jute fibres when treated with whale oil - and textiles are still produced in Dundee today.
Has the sea air given you an appetite? Tuck into a - large - slice of Dundee cake. Or dollop some of the local marmalade on your toast. Dundee is famous for sweets and preserves. What gifts to take back for friends and family from your Dundee vacation rental.
As an aid to digestion, stroll to the East Port, the only city gate to survive the sackings of the past. Or see the City Churches in central Dundee. There are three of these parish churches, and you’ll find them all under just one roof. And if all this is not enough to stimulate the intellect, you might care to visit the University; for this is indeed a varsity city. The University of Dundee, which dates back to the late nineteenth century, is one of Scotland’s most famous seats of learning.

But you’ll learn something with virtually every step you take through the streets of the city of Dundee, or the hills and vales of Angus. A living, breathing education in Scots culture. An unforgettable trip. That’s Angus and Dundee: your choice for a holiday home rental.
