Videos highlight hidden Angus gems

A new video campaign has been launched to inspire visitors to add Angus to their travel plans.

Angus Council, in partnership with VisitScotland, has created a series of videos, hosted on the Angus destination website, Visit Angus, ahead of the 147th Open at Carnoustie and the eagerly anticipated opening of the V&A Dundee.

They showcase the renowned attractions and hidden gems which make a trip to the region so special.

Each video celebrates 48 hours of wonder, adventure and history in Angus, highlighting the region as the ideal location for breathtaking scenery, mouthwatering food and drink, rich history, exciting adventures and first-class golf experiences.

In the first film, viewers discover the range of exciting experiences hidden off the beaten track.

The second takes in Arbroath Abbey, the House of Dun and Glamis Castle, the childhood home of HM Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother.

Forty-eight hours of wonder aims to shed light on the region’s hidden gems, including the wildlife spectacle of thousands of geese descending on Montrose Basin or teeing off on one of the country’s oldest links golf course at Montrose.

The journey takes in Kirriemuir to pay tributes to local legends, Peter Pan and Bon Scott, before stopping at the Gin Bothy to sample some of the region’s best botanical beverages.

The final two videos tee up experiences golf fans can enjoy in Carnoustie country ahead of the Open in July.

Caroline Warburton, VisitScotland Regional Leadership Director, said: “We’re delighted to have been able to work with Angus Council to create these videos and give viewers a taste of what this exciting region has to offer.”
