The Tayside / Perthshire / Angus/Dundee region
Nestled at the edge of the famous Angus Glens well known for their scenic beauty and tranquility, Edzell has the best of both worlds. In the middle of glorious nature with hills, rivers and beaches on its doorstep, yet within easy driving distance of two larger cities. The area is also known for its superb golf courses, famous castles such as Balmoral(Queen) & Glamis(Queen mother), Royal Deeside and the well known whisky trail. One of the oldes distilleries in Scotland is Fettercairn which is just 4 miles up the road. All through the summer Highland Games (Pipebands, Scottish dancing and tossing the cabre) are held throughout the region with the largest gathering at Braemar at the end of August.
The Brechin / Edzell area
Edzell is a small village of only 700 inhabitants yet has almost every amenity you can think of within walking distance of Oakbank. From a superb golf-course with both 18 - , 9 holes and a floodlit driving range to restaurants, a baker, butcher, hairdressers, supermarket, garage, post-office, chemist, doctor, church, bowling club and health club. The local North Esk river is famous for its fishing and the Angus Glens are ideal for an easy stroll or a serious hike. The wonderful beaches at St. Cyrus and Montrose are less than half an hour by car or the kids might just like to potter around 'Edzell beach' or have a dip at the Pirners Brig. The Retreat has a lovely museum about the local area and tea-room and is worth visiting while driving up Glenesk. Local Edzell Castle and the House of Dun on the road to Montrose are two wonderful historic buildings not to be missed.
