Montrose is a friendly little town sitting to the north-east of Dundee on a peninsula between a tidal basin and the north sea. The steeple of the parish church pinpoints the town from all around. Popular for short summer visits the town boasts a few interesting tourist sights and a good selection of eating establishments. Outwith the town there are numerous golf courses and readily available countryside to explore. Montrose town itself is a long established market town for the rich agricultural hinterland, as a Royal Burgh – this proud town lives a heritage of a more prosperous time when it was a busy seaport, the port today has little resemblance to its bygone days and now acts as a small base for specialist engineering associated with North Sea offshore oil and gas exploration.
