The ruins of Red Castle, enjoying a magnificent location overlooking Lunan Bay, south of Montrose in Angus. A castle first appears to have been built here for William the Lion, King William I of Scotland, in the late 1100s.

Former Montrose Royal Infirmary, opened in 1839, closed 2018, looking impressive still in the sunshine a week or so ago, despite broken windows. #hospitals #MedicalHistory #ArchitecturalHistory #Scotland #Montrose

Gorgeous #photo of #Montrose by Emily Wilson in this week’s “Your pictures of Scotland”. I used to walk up that path every day when I was working in the #Angus #Archives in the town as a Research Assistant. My husband also pushed me along this path in my wheelchair last time we were in the town. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-65720202 #Photography #Scotland #Walking #UrbanEnvironment #Graveyards

And a local historian who I often chatted with has just appeared on screen in the programme. I spent a year 2003-4 working half time as a #ResearchAssistant on Bob Harris’s Small Towns project. And a huge part of my job was spent researching in the #Angus #Archives, which at that time was located in the top floor of #Montrose Library. #UrbanHistory #HistoricalResearch #DundeeUniversity #ScottishHistory #ScottishTowns #Towns #AngusArchives

The wonderful two-mile long beach at Lunan Bay, on the coast of Angus south of Montrose. Backed by dunes and a ruined castle and framed by low cliffs to the north and south, this is high on our list of Scotland's best beaches.

Day out to #MontroseAirStationHeritageCentre today 😃 We saw the #Spitfire, rang the bell and found a nice #dog bed in the Station Commanders Office! There's an #AnimalsAtWar exhibit about various animal heroes from Vic a real #WarHorse to Bamse to Winkie the passenger pigeon! We headed along to the new exhibit with the #HawkerHunter and the #Tornado. Fantastic to see it out on display 😃

The glory of the #NorthernLights in #Montrose. To the upper right of the image light pollution from the town flumps into thick low cloud; to the lower left a passing ambulance smears vivid blue thanks to the 1.5 second exposure. Lord have mercy.
Visited Langley Park Gardens near #Montrose today to see the display of #Snowdrops 😀 Had the whole place to ourselves!
