BEHIND THAT BLUE DOOR AT EDZELL. Angus in Scotland.
A walk by The Burn behind the blue door at Edzell. This is a walk along a very small part of the River North Esk (Mainly well ABOVE it.) and into the lower reaches of Glen Esk. A walk to behold, with magnificent views indeed. noisy when the water is in full flow, and I do not recommend you trying to swim there either.
4k. THE BLUE DOOR AT EDZELL. ANGUS. SCOTLAND.
4K. THE BLUE DOOR AT EDZELL.
It is situated about 1 mile out of Edzell on the B966 road heading towards Fettercairn. Just immediately after crossing the Gannochy Bridge you will see a few parking spaces at the side of the road on your left, this is where you want to park.
After parking up you will see the 'blue door'.
Cross the road and check out the water of the River North Esk, flowing there.
Back to the other side and enter the blue door to start The Burn, river walk.
Many say it is like entering another world and have compared it to Narnia'. This is where you go through the wardrobe and enter another world.
It is a beautiful walk. I myself would rate as one of the TOP 5 best walks in all of Scotland.
This is a river walk with stunning scenery, consisting of rapids & waterfalls beside tree lined paths,
Overall, it is quite a long walk but I enjoy every minute of it, EVERY YEAR I am there. I would recommend it to all tourists, or to anyone who hasn't done it yet. One important piece of advice though. It would be almost impossible in a wheelchair.
If you intend doing the walk with young children, I would also suggest you keep a strong hold of their hand, or reins, as there are some very steep and very dangerous drops, at certain parts throughout this walk.
The core content contained in the above combined articles, was originally written by several A.N. Others + myself, then combined. It was then all re-formatted, re-edited, with the spelling & grammar corrected, then added to where pertinent, before being updated by me, myself, and I, to suit this subject matter more exclusively.
Thank you to all those involved in this.

Edzell medieval chapel and castle
The Lindsay aisle is all that remains of the medieval parish church of Edzell, dedicated to St. Lawrence. There is a similarity of design to the medieval chapel (St. Serf's?) near Culross; the mortuary aisle which adjoins the nave from the south, through a semi-circular arch, is late medieval but probably still pre-Reformation. Was this a style of late medieval, pre-Reformation, Scottish architecture? The dulcet-toned castle garden with peacocks and summer-house would have been a delight in Renaissance times to the Lindsay family; it's still very beautiful with it's currently resident, extremely vain, peacocks!

Old Photographs Of Edzell Angus Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Edzell, Scottish Gaelic: Eigill, a village in Angus. It is 5 miles north of Brechin, by the River North Esk. The original village of Edzell was located around the walls of the first Edzell Castle, a motte and bailey structure to the south of the present castle. The existing village of Slateford was expanded in the early 19th century by the Earl of Panmure. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert visited Edzell, as part of a Royal progress through Angus and Kincardineshire, just weeks before Albert's sudden death. Edzell was not connected to the railway until 1896, and only had a passenger service until 1931, although it reopened experimentally in the summer of 1938. The line closed to freight traffic in 1964. In the twentieth century, the increasing popularity of golf led to more tourists visiting Edzell Golf Club. At one point the village had three large hotels. The original course was laid out in 1895 by Bob Simpson, top golf course architect of his day. In 1934 the course was re-designed on recommendations made by the famous James Braid who was born in Earlsferry, East Neuk of Fife, and remains virtually unchanged to this day. Loups Bridge near Edzell is now unused, the bridge carries a path over the River North Esk, which here forms the boundary between the the parishes of Edzell in Angus, and Fettercairn in Kincardineshire. The bridge was built by John and James Justice of Dundee.

Old Photographs Lethnot Angus Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Lethnot a small hamlet located five miles from Edzell in Angus. The Reverend David Rose was Episcopal minister of Lethnot in 1695. He was the great grandfather of Sir Hugh Henry Rose, Baronet, Baron Strathnairn, and eminent Indian soldier. Two hundred years ago the road through Letjnot was the shortest direct route to the south coming from Banffshire and Aberdeenshire, crossing the hills to Invermark, over again on to the road leading to Lethnot. In the same period this road had two names. The first was Priests Road because the Episcopalian minister of Lochlee and Lethnot travelled on it from the manse in upper Glenesk. The other name was the Whisky Road, the joy of bootleggers and the bane of the exciseman. There were dozens of stills on the hill burns, and several could be seen in the Lethnot area until just a few years ago. The making of illegal whisky slowly died away as the authorities became to clever in catching the bootleggers and by 1790 the majority of stills were ceased, with only a few left till around 1830. Glen Lethnot is located to the North West of Brechin between Glen Clova to the west and Glen Esk to the east. The glen contains the Water of Saughs, which becomes the West Water in its lower reaches. The Glen extends east and then South East from Ben Tirran mountain to meet the Valley of Strathmore to the southeast of Edzell.
