Location

The Feathers is situated within Strathmore, midway between Glamis and Meigle, and close to the county boundary of Angus and Perthshire. As such it is ideally placed for the many outdoor pursuits offered by both counties. Strathmore is a fertile plain which stretches west from Forfar towards Perth and lies between the Sidlaw Hills to the south and the Angus Glens to the north, with the Grampian mountains behind. Strathmore is famous for its beautiful scenery, productive farmland and for nearby Glamis Castle, childhood home of the late Queen Mother.

The Feathers is extremely well located for both the A90 and the A94. The A94 links Forfar to Perth, while the A90 provides fast access south to Dundee, Perth and central Scotland, and north to Aberdeen. Both Dundee and Perth provide all the services expected of major cities, while Aberdeen and Edinburgh are also within reasonable driving distance. There is a railway station at Dundee, with a sleeper service. Both Aberdeen and Edinburgh airports provide a range of domestic and European flights.

Locally there are primary schools at Eassie and at Glamis, which also has a village shop. There is another village shop in Meigle. Secondary schooling is available at the well respected Webster’s High in Kirriemuir, which also has a good range of local independent shops. Forfar, Alyth, Coupar Angus and Blairgowrie are all easily reached and provide further shopping, business and leisure facilities. Private schooling is available at the High School of Dundee with dedicated bus services at both Meigle and Newtyle. Dundee provides all the services expected of a major city and is an established centre of excellence in education and life sciences, with two universities and renowned cultural facilities, including the V&A design museum.

Both Angus and Perthshire are well known for their outdoor pursuits. Fishing can be taken on the Isla and Tay and on the North and South Esks, while loch fishing is available locally at Rescobie, Ledcrieff and at Lintrathen. The Angus Glens and Perthshire hills provide some of the best hill walking in eastern Scotland. There are also good walks in the Sidlaws.
