Forfar

Forfar is a town and royal burgh of approximately 13,500 people in Angus, of which it is the county town: Angus is also known as "Forfarshire". This is a traditional market town, serving the outlying lowland farms of Strathmore in central Angus.

The town is near to the Angus Glens, including Glen Doll, Glen Clova and Glen Prosen, and so a base for skiers and hill walkers. The area is notable for the beautiful scenery of the mountains and Strathmore. Some five miles distant is Glamis Castle. (Read more)
