ANGUS
Situated on Scotland's east coast, the county consists of a diverse landscape - mountains, glens and a rugged coastline provide the backdrop to the seaside towns and market burghs of Angus.
A historic but forward looking county, the Angus economy has grown from its agricultural and seafaring origins and now supports a diverse portfolio of business including the oil industry & engineering, textiles and pharmaceuticals.
Angus has much to offer residents, visitors and business in an area of just 2,200 square kilometres. With a population of 108,400 (2001 census) Angus has seven main towns - Arbroath, Forfar, Montrose, Carnoustie, Kirriemuir, Brechin and Monifieth. Most of the population lives within these towns and the coastal & Strathmore areas, with the remote glens to the north of the county having a very sparse population.
