📌 Montrose, Angus
★★★
The House of Dun is a stunning Georgian stately home situated in pleasant Angus countryside between Brechin and Montrose, not far from the mud flats of Montrose Basin nature reserve. As you’d expect from a National Trust for Scotland property, the house interior is furnished lavishly, with equally beautiful gardens. On a good weather day, let the train take the strain from Brechin to nearby Bridge of Dun (a mile away) on the Caledonian Railway heritage line.
