Stiff but short walk along a track to the monument. Go on a clear day to get great views over Angus all the way from Kinpurney hill in the west to the sea in the east.

Car park is hidden so research it's location. Fantastic wee hour long return journey with views over Glen Clova

Amazing views from the monument of the surrounding area. Nice walk up through the woods to get there and not many people there either. Interesting history to discover.

Short steep walk to the top from the wee car park. Great views to the Grampians, up the Glens and towards the East coast.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
