WELCOME TO OUR ALPHABETIC ANGUS SERIES
This has been inspired by the A/Z series by Perth Pathfinders which took us to many nice places in Perthshire.
Alphabetic Angus will take you to lots of similarly nice places in our home county, and can be done in any order.
Angus is a lovely county stretching from the east coast to the high mountains in the Angus Glens. It was known as Forfarshire, with Forfar as the county town, until 1928 when Angus was adopted as the new county name.
NEWTYLE
A village on the back-roads between Coupar Angus and Glamis in the south-west of the county. It sits on the southern edge of Strathmore, and has a Primary School, village shop, pub and garage. Kinpurnie Tower, built as an observatory, is just east of the village and is a good target for a moderately strenuous walk.
