FERRYDEN. MONTROSE. SANDY BRAES, AND SCURDIE NESS LIGHTHOUSE.
Montrose & Ferryden harbour is suitable for north sea supply boats as it is indeed a deep water harbour and berthing, at ALL states of the tide. The central geographical location of Montrose with its excellent road and rail communication links with major cities and its impressive storage facilities make the port the ideal centre for international trade and distribution throughout Scotland and Northern England. The harbour lies within a mile of open sea and provides a sheltered haven almost half a mile long. There are no tidal restrictions to any of the berths in Montrose which offers around 1000 metres of riverside quay. The North Sea Oil and Gas industry has identified Montrose as an important One-Stop base with deep water berths, open storage, over 40,000 sq metres of warehousing and office accommodation immediately adjacent to the quaysides. Montrose Port Authority (MPA) and its oil industry partners on site offer outstanding levels of service to this important industry which successfully shares port facilities with other commercial trades. MPA and its port partners provide a wide range of services to shipping including 24 hour pilotage, bunkering, craneage, stevedoring and ships agencies.
Scurdie Ness Lighthouse is located on the headland and has also been referred to as Montroseness Lighthouse. In 1867 the seafaring community of Ferryden made representations to the Commissioners of Northern Lighthouses to have a light established on Montrose Point due to the numerous shipwrecks and great loss of life along that coast. There are 11 wrecks recorded around the mouth of the estuary. Many caused by the rocks and some by the shifting sand area called Annat Sand Bank.
The lighthouse was built by David Stevenson and Thomas Stevenson and at 6 pm on Tuesday 1 March 1870 the tower was lit for the first time. During World War II the lighthouse was temporarily painted black so that it could not be used by the German bombers as a daytime reference point. The light was not illuminated except when requested by the Royal Navy.

A MONTROSE BASIN NATURE RESERVE WALK
Part of a Montrose basin nature reserve walk. Just minutes from the centre of Montrose, this tidal basin plays host to large numbers of wildfowl, waders and up to 60,000 migrating geese each year. There are four hides on the reserve and a four-star Visitor Centre for environmental activities on a variety of topics. Atlantic Salomon and eels are also present. Montrose Basin is an enclosed estuary of the river South Esk covering 750 hectares, home to over 50,000 migratory birds - including pink-footed geese, Arctic terns, knots and sedge warblers.
The nature reserve in this embayment is internationally important for pink-footed geese, red knot and common redshank and is nationally important for common shelduck, wigeon and common eider ducks. It is also popular with mute swans, oystercatchers and northern lapwings as well as smaller birds. Breeding birds are preyed on by peregrine falcons and sparrowhawks. The visitor centre, run by the Scottish Wildlife Trust, is accessible from the A92 road.
The swans give the Basin its old, more poetic name, the “Sea of Swans”.[citation needed]
The Montrose Basin Heritage Society was formed in 1999 to bring together information about the basin, including its history and archaeology.
The Basin has been exploited for its seafood. At one time Montrose was Scotland's second largest exporter of salmon; and mussel cultivation gave it the largest mussel beds in the country during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Eels have also been an important catch.
The Montrose Basin was hit by a tsunami in 6100 BC, generated by the massive underwater Storegga Slide, in Norway. It was 70 feet (21 m) high when it hit the basin, with the waters travelling inland as far as Forfar.

Glen Bogle House
On a cool and clear autumn day we embarked on a 3-mile hike to the Ardverikie House located on the south shore of Loch Laggan in the Scottish Highlands. This beautiful home was used in the BBC TV series Monarch of the Glen and was situated in the fictitious Glen Bogle. The gate house featured at the start of the video also appeared in the TV series. While you cannot drive up to the house, we received permission to hike the 3-miles from the estate entrance to the home. We also complied with the request to remain away from the house as it is a personal residence. The walk took a little less than an hour and well worth the effort.
