Overview

This is a lovely circular walk in the Angus countryside near Linross, just outside Glamis village. Go through Glamis village making for Kirriemuir but taking the turning left for Linross, there is a lay-by on the right of the road where we can park.  
This is the start of our walk where we will walk through woodlands and the old railway track and hopefully see wild orchids.
