Known for
Brechin Cathedral's Irish round tower (one of only two in Scotland), the Caledonian Railway, Glenesk, and a small Angus city with extraordinary early Christian heritage
A little history
Brechin Cathedral's round tower — built between the 10th and 11th centuries — is one of only two Irish-style round towers in Scotland, reflecting the early Christian monastic settlement here. Brechin has technically been a city since the Middle Ages due to its cathedral status.
The round tower is extraordinary — genuinely one of Scotland's most remarkable early Christian monuments. The Caledonian Railway heritage railway for steam trips. Glenesk for beautiful Angus glen walking.
