Five Glens of Angus

Lower part of Glen Isla

Glen Cova

The Five Glens of Angus are the five Highland glens in the north of Angus, stretching from the mountains of the Mounth southwards toward the lower lands of the county. The greatest glens are in the west of the shire, Glenisla running close to the Perthhire border, but Glen Esk is in the east, by Kincardineshire.

The five glens from westernmost to easternmost are:

• Glenisla (River Isla)
• Glen Prosen (Prosen Water)
• Glen Clova (River South Esk)
• Glen Lethnot (West Water)
• Glen Esk (River North Esk)

A subsidiary glen, not counted with its fellows, is:

• Kilry Glen, bearing the Burn of Kilry into the River Isla
