Angus Libraries recently produced a leaflet - Carnoustie Discovery Trail and I have placed some caches along the route so that the visitor can see and learn a little about Carnoustie.
The Discovery Trail starts at Carnoustie Library and Tourist Information Centre, opened in 1976. My caching route starts there also and covers the same ground as the Discovery Trail but in reverse. You can start wherever you want: High St (A930) up Lochty St, left along Maule St, right up Queen St, across the park, down Balmachie Rd and West Path, across Dundee Rd (A930) and along Camus St and Golf St towards the sea, over the railway bridge at Golf St station, left along Links Parade, out to the east end of the beach, back along the beach, up Ferrier St and right along High St back to the library (or continue along Links Parade to Carnoustie station).
Tourist information
Within the library is a display cabinet with items, such as the Provost’s robe and chain. Opposite the library is the Carnoustie Access Office, built in 1898 as the Council Chambers. It was viewed as ‘a riotous extravagance’ at the time. Previously the town council had met in a small shop in the High St. On the floor inside can be seen the coat of arms granted to the town in 1963 representing the golf links and the Lochty Burn bisecting the town.
Along a bit is the High St carpark. The building at the front is a fine example of art deco architecture, and the area was once Strachan’s Garage, built in 1924. Currentlt the building is being converted into flats
