Holiday Cottage in Kirriemuir.
GLENPROSEN COTTAGES
on the edge of the new CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK . Comfortable accommodation in traditional yet fully modernised stone cottages scattered through Glenprosen. These cottages were once occupied by shepherds, gardeners, or other staff of the Ogilvy family when this was a traditional Victorian sporting estate. Red squirrels play in the trees, otters frequent the burns, and deer graze all around. Because of our varied scenery, that varies from beech woods to forest , pasture to heather moor , mountain streams to river pools, we enjoy a spectacular range of wildlife, including species largely extinct elsewhere in Britain, such as Blackgame and ptarmigan.
BALNABOTH ESTATE occupies the central part of Glenprosen extending to approximately 5,500 acres. The estate has passed through the Ogilvy family since 1470, and the oldest building on the site of Balnaboth House is a stone vault dating from well before 1600. Many famous people have stayed here, including J.M.Barrie, author of Peter Pan who wrote on leaving "never have I had a happier holiday".
Enjoy the seclusion of beautiful Glen Prosen. Peaceful, relaxing, scenic - yet just a few minutes drive from bustling market towns, busy fishing harbours, and the City of Dundee. Good road, rail and air access to Angus provide easy access to our accommodation from all parts of the UK, or international destinations.(See "How to get here") Breakfast in London, walk the hills of Glen Prosen in the afternoon - that's how reachable we are!
