Montrose is a coastal resort town and former royal burgh in Angus, Scotland. Montrose is situated 38 miles north of Dundee between the mouths of the North and South Esk rivers. Montrose is the northernmost coastal town in Angus and developed at a natural harbour that traded in skins, hides and cured salmon in medieval times.
The skyline of Montrose is dominated by the 220-foot (67 m) steeple of Old and St Andrew's Church, designed by James Gillespie Graham and built between 1832 and 1834. Montrose is a town with a wealth of architecture, and is a centre for international trade. It is an important commercial port for the thriving oil and gas industry.
Montrose is known for its wide thoroughfare and high street which leads to picturesque closes containing secluded gardens. The town has a view of a 2 mi (3 km) square tidal lagoon, Montrose Basin, which is considered a nature reserve of international importance. Montrose is the largest inland salt water basin in the UK, and an important habitat for the mute swan. Just outside Montrose is the 18th-century House of Dun, designed by the Scottish architect William Adam and built in 1730 for David Erskine, 13th Laird of Dun.
Montrose occupies a position on the North Bank of Montrose Basin at the mouth of the River South Esk on the East Coast of Scotland, The expanse of the town extends to the villages on its fringes; Hillside and Ferryden. It lies close to the hamlets of Lunan and St Cyrus. The rural location ensures that the air quality is good, with low levels of nitrogen dioxide and PM10.
The Montrose Basin is a shallow estuary approximately three miles in diameter. Montrose is situated where the River South Esk meets the North Sea. During the 16th century, local landowners desiring more arable land considered reducing its size, but their plans were never carried out.
The 3-mile-long (4.8 km) sandy Montrose Beach has been awarded a Blue Flag for its eco credentials. The surrounding Traill Pavilion and Seafront Splash! facilities with an arcade, a playground, a café and an ice-cream stall is popular amongst locals and visitors alike.

7 Beers You Can Only Get in Newfoundland
If you love trying different beers an area has to offer while you travel, you’ll want to know about 7 beers you can only get in Newfoundland.
Like many places, in recent years, Newfoundland has seen its share of activity in the microbrewery area, with some new small craft breweries coming on the scene.
While you should definitely explore and taste those during your visit, in this video we’re specifically talking about domestic beers, brewed locally either by one of the large breweries, Labatt and Molson, or the smaller but well-established Quidi Vidi Brewery. These are all available in the unique Newfoundland size domestic bottle - about an inch shorter than mainland longnecks.

Year of Coasts & Waters 2020
In 2020, Scotland will be celebrating its Year of Coasts & Waters through a year-long programme of exciting events, festivals and activities that everyone can get involved in. From historic harbours and winding waterways, to sweeping coastlines, the very best in seafood, whisky, wildlife and wellness – Scotland’s reputation for its rich natural and cultural heritage is one not to be missed.
Water is a huge part of Scotland’s landscapes and is the life-blood that keeps our valleys green and rivers flowing. Many of our much-loved attractions and natural features have been sculpted by the sheer force of water alone and they are a real sight to see up close, so what are you waiting for?
Scotland’s natural environment is out of this world. Picture immaculate structures and formations poking out of the coastline and withstanding the force and pressure of the powerful waves around them. Bow Fiddle Rock in Moray, Yesnaby Stack in Orkney, and Fingal’s Cave on the Isle of Staffa are just a few of the coastal formations you can uncover.
Elsewhere, Scotland features hundreds of glittering lochs in all nooks and crannies of the country. From the infamous Loch Ness just south of Inverness, and the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, to the beautiful Loch Maree in Kinlochewe, and the royal Loch Muick in Aberdeenshire, there are plenty for you to uncover.
Taste the salt in the wind, feel the crisp sea air on your face, and listen to the soothing sounds of seabirds and crashing waves as you wander along one of Scotland’s stunning beaches. There are hundreds of beaches, bays, harbours and sands across Scotland that you can explore, all of which are set to impress. Some of the best beaches in Scotland include Ayr Beach on the west coast, Achnahaird Beach on the north west coast, Seacliff Beach in East Lothian, and Coldingham Bay in the Scottish Borders.
If you keep your eyes peeled, you can spot hundreds of species of wildlife across the country. From the elusive pine marten and fluffy red squirrels in the many forests, to seals and dolphins off the coasts, and sea eagles soaring above you, there are plenty to see.
Scotland is overflowing with history, culture and heritage, from Neolithic villages, to 18th century battlefields, there are hundreds of attractions and locations to explore across the country. Venture on Scotland’s Castle Trail where you can uncover 19 of Aberdeenshire’s most famous and dramatic castles, including Dunnottar Castle on the coast, the grand Castle Fraser, and the magnificent Duff House. Elsewhere, you can explore ancient artefacts, precious paintings and a whole world of fine art at the many galleries and museums that Scotland boasts. From exploring the history of the Highlands at the Highland Folk Museum in Newtonmore, to uncovering intricate Scottish art at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow, there is plenty to get involved in.
Scotland wouldn’t be Scotland without a little adventure and activity. Scotland is the Home of Golf and boasts prestigious and ancient courses across the country, alongside featuring lands and coastlines that are made for adrenaline-pumping adventures. From world-class watersports, and mountain biking down rugged terrain, to aqualining, and scaling the towering heights of the Cairngorms, Scotland’s magnificent great outdoors are endless.
Whisky, or Uisge Beatha in Scottish Gaelic, is a very popular part of Scotland’s culture. In our distilleries, skilled distillers take pure water from crystal-clear streams, and golden barely from the fields, and transform them into the delectable spirits we know and love today. There are over 100 active distilleries in Scotland, including Balblair in Ardmore, Glenmorangie, and Caol Ila Distillery on the Isle of Islay, to name a few.
With hundreds of seaside towns, harbours and ports dotted around the country, Scotland boasts delectable seafood dishes to try. Taste freshly caught fish, such as smoked mackerel or salmon, at the many local farmers’ markets that bring together the area’s top producers. You can even head off on Scotland’s Seafood Trail which encompasses spectacular coastal scenery alongside seafoodie delights to sample at a variety of waterfront cafes and restaurants across Scotland.

5 Scottish Estates YOU Can Check Out
Scotland's storybook countryside is decorated with some of Great Britain's most elegant estates...and many are open to the public. To get some of that Downton Abbey feeling yourself, head out into the Scottish Borders to see how the aristocracy lived, worked, and played.
There's no need to bring tux and tails or worry about dungeon imprisonment. Nowadays, that dungeon is more likely a restaurant and the falconry is only for demonstration purposes. And the dress code? Not so much. Instead of a dinner jacket, pack your hiking boots and mountain bike, because the grounds of these sprawling estates are open to trekkers and nature lovers.
This video visits five Scottish estates that travelers to Scotland can check out:
* Floors Castle
* Bowhill House
* Abbotsford House
* Jedburgh Abbey
* Dalhousie House
Let's go where the air is cleaner and the views are endless: The Scottish Borders.

Seventa Events & Hospitality - 1920's themed Christmas party - www.seventa.co.uk
Seventa Events & Hospitality were asked to organise a 1920's themed Christmas party, with a nightclub twist on behalf of one of our clients. The 1920's themed event included 'shutting down' the main entrance of the venue (which was a converted old church) and having american actors on the front door stating 'there is no party here'. Guests would then move on and actors would peak around the corner saying 'follow us - whats the password' (passwords were given to guests prior to arriving) and the actors took them to the back entrance of a second venue (next door), where they were led upstairs by further hosts/actors. Once inside curtains were drawn to reveal a secret prohibition party, with saxophone players, wooden barrel tables, cocktails, old fashioned buffet catering, 1920's flapper dancers and more. After two hours in this venue, we moved guests through to the converted church via a crafted wooden walkway, as they entered the converted church, on stage was an old fashioned car which housed the DJ, a giant LED screen behind this played old films and a stage showcased dancers. After an hour in this venue, the lights were suddenly dimmed, police sirens went off and blue flashing lights filled the venue. The venue was being raided by police. This was of course part of the entertainment and as soon as the 'police' came on stage the flapper girls chucked them off. Guests then suddenly heard live music and turned to see a back stage (which had been curtained off previously) and on walked The Jive Aces (runners up on Britain's Got Talent). The Jive Aces played a lively set which was then followed up by the DJ until the early hours. A state of the art lighting system, along with giant LED screen and co2 cannons provided the nightclub feel for the latter part of the evening. seventa.co.uk
