Local Attractions

Our location within the town of Forfar in Angus gives easy access to Glen Isla, Glen Prosen and other beauty spots. Forfar has its own one hundred year old golf course, there are other courses within a half hours drive: Kirriemuir, Strathmore, Glen Isla, Alyth, the qualifying course at Monifieth and the world famous Carnoustie.

Four miles west is Glamis Castle the ancestral home of the Boyes -Lyon family of which the late Queen Mother was a member. She was raised and grew up at Glamis before she later became the wife of King George the Sixth. The Castle also hosts an annual “prom” which includes performances by the Scottish National Orchestra playing classical music accompanied by firework displays etc.

The loch supports a variety of bird life and has sailing facilities. Visitors to the area can stay in the caravan park which is unique as it is practically in the town itself and is easy walking distance to the town centre. The other loch is Rascobie Loch which is popular with anglers as it is well stocked with trout and is approximately three miles out of town.

The area is steeped in Pictish history. The “Standing Stones” at Aberlemno give testimony to Pictish existence and culture. The Meffan Gallery and Museum is a fountain of knowledge in that regard.

The town of Forfar and surrounding area has much to offer to the discerning traveller and The Castle Club alike can provide an excellent experience in dining out in Forfar.
