Montrose
Montrose is a seaside resort town and past royal burgh in Angus, Scotland. It is set about 38 miles (61 kilometres) north of Dundee between the mouths of the North and South Esk rivers. It is the northernmost coastal town in Angus and developed at a natural harbour that traded in skins, hides and dried salmon in medieval times. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11955 people. In more recent times, the town operates mainly as a port, even though the main company is GlaxoSmithKline, which was saved from closure in 2006. The horizon of Montrose is dominated by the 220-foot (67 m) steeple, which was designed by James Gillespie Graham and built between 1832 and 1834. Montrose is a town with an abundance of architecture, and is a centre for worldwide trade. It is an important commercial port for the booming oil and gas trade. It is known for its large thoroughfare and high street, which leads to picturesque closes featuring secluded gardens. The town has a view of a 2 mile (3 kilometres) square tidal lagoon, Montrose Basin, which is regarded as a nature reserve of global importance. It is the largest inland salt water basin in the UK, and it is also an important habitat for the mute swan. Just outside Montrose is the 18th-century House of Dun, developed by the Scottish designer William Adam and constructed in 1730 for David Erskine, the 13th Laird of Dun. Montrose is considered as the culture and sculpture capital of Angus, having more than 20 statues of note spread around the town.
