Location of The Angus Glens

Angus is a county on the east coast of Scotland.   Radiating towards the west, from the more populated parts of the County, are a number of Glens which include Glens Esk, Clova and Prosen.

Glen Esk is the most northerly of these three Glens reached from either Fettercairn or Edzell.  

Glens Clova and Prosen are accessed from Kirriemuir.

Mountains of Angus Glens

Glen Esk

On the north side of Glen Esk is the Corbett Mount Battock and on its south side the Graham, Hill of Wirren.   This Glen also gives access to Glen Mark the southerly route to the Munro Mount Keen and to Glen Lee with its Graham Hunt Hill.

Glen Clova

On the north side of this Glen is the Corbett Ben Tirran while to the south are the more popular Munros Driesh and Mayar.

From the end of the public road in Glen Clova it is possible to walk over the Capel Mounth to Loch Muick or the path to Bachnagairn and onto the east ridge of Broad Cairn. (See Lochnagar Page)

Glen Clova leads onto Glen Doll with its famous Jock's Road which can take you to Glen Callater and onto Braemar.   Jocks' Road can be used to access the Munros Tolmount and Tom Buidhe which can equally well be climbed from Glen Shee.

Glen Prosen

Glen Prosen is not as popular a glen as Glen Esk but it can be used for a quieter approach to the Munros of Driesh and Mayar using the Kilbo Path, which runs between these two mountains.   Glen Prosen also allows access to Glen Uig from where the Grahams Cat Law and Corwharn can be climbed.
