LOCAL SCENES
ANGUS is a beautiful county and the locals of the Forfar and Kirriemuir area are rightly proud of our countryside and its stunning vistas - so much so that we thought you, our readers, might be interested in this new addition to our site.
The local scenes pages are a new pictorial showcase of the best of Angus and, over the coming weeks and months, we'll be posting shot after jaw-dropping shot on these pages.
But we'll not just be posting our photos on the site - any readers looking to share their images of Angus with the world can also get in on the act.
To get your pictures posted simply click here, drop us an email, and we'll do the rest.
We'll pick some of the best shots and post them on these pages at regular intervals - so keep checking back for our latest updates.
