Location
Glenisla is the westernmost of the five famous Angus Glens in Scotland, sitting on the border of Angus and Perthshire. Known as a tranquil and relatively undiscovered gem, it spans a wide valley carved out by the River Isla as it flows south from the southern Grampian Mountains down toward the Vale of Strathmore.
The Cateran Ecomuseum provides routes for walking, cycling and driving through the area with information on the culture and history to be found on every route.
Glenisla runs roughly 18 miles long, stretching from the high Cairngorm plateaus in the north to the fertile lowlands in the south.
The High Peaks: The northern head of the glen is surrounded by steep, impressive peaks like Monamenach (2,648 ft) and Monega
At the very top of the glen lies Caenlochan Forest, a protected area renowned for its unique lime-rich cliffs and rare arctic-alpine plants.
Reekie Linn: Located near the southern entrance of the glen, Reekie Linn is a spectacular, dramatic pair of cascading waterfalls that plunge into a deep, misty gorge
