Montrose
Montrose is a seaside resort town and former royal burgh in Angus, Scotland. It lies about 38 miles (61 kilometres) north of Dundee in between the mouths of the North and South Esk rivers. It is the northernmost seaside town in Angus and formed at a natural harbour that traded in skins, hides and cured salmon in medieval times. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 11955 people. In recent times, the town operates mainly as a port, even though the major employer 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 hub for worldwide trade. It is an essential industrial port for the profitable oil and gas sector. It is known for its large thoroughfare and high street, which leads to beautiful closes including private gardens. The town has a view of a 2 mile (3 kilometres) square tidal lagoon, Montrose Basin, which is considered a nature reserve of global significance. It is the largest inland salt water basin in the UK, and it is also an essential habitat for the mute swan. Just outside Montrose is the 18th-century House of Dun, developed by the Scottish designer William Adam and developed in 1730 for David Erskine, the 13th Laird of Dun. Montrose is considered as the culture and sculpture capital of Angus, having over 20 statues of note spread all over the town.
