The old stone bridge over River Esk is closed since winter 2023-24 floods. Its first section was washed away and it does not look like it will be fixed anytime soon. It affects the Montrose Basin circular cycling route. No warning signs until crossroads at Barnhead.

The present castle was built in the 16th century on the site of an older 14th century castle. It was positioned at a cross road to help the local lords control the marauders. You can't enter the castle any more, but you run right past.

The active port is an important part of Montrose's industry and economy, as well as an integral part of their history.

St Drostan's in the remote town of Tarfside is a church and a lodge at the same time and offers low cost accommodation in the heart of Glenesk. You can find all information on current fees and availability right here: http://www.stdrostans.org/. It is also a popular stop during The Great Outdoors Challenge, when challengers are served bacon rolls, homemade cake and tea on a donation basis. You can also take a shower for a donation.

The lovely town of Edzell lies at the shore of River North Esk and is a popular stop for participants of The Great Outdoors Challenge. Sinclair's Larder is a cozy café with delicious food and pastry. If you prefer fish and chips, look on the other side of the road. There is also a tiny grocery store a little further down the road if you are running low on supplies.
