Lunan Bay
Angus | Lunan | Beach & castle | ★★★★ [Lunan Bay] Three miles of perfect sand and scenery makes Lunan Bay the most beautiful beach in Angus - perhaps even the best anywhere on Scotland's east coast. Its rural location saves it from crowds (although it's not as quiet as Sandwood Bay , for instance), and even in peak season there's more than enough sand to go round. The beach is mostly backed by low dunes but there's a surprise in the form of Red Castle, a lonely 12th century ruin well worth the wet feet you'll get in crossing the Lunan Water to reach it. The castle is also a great vantage point for the bay, but don't get too close: it's not exactly the most stable of buildings.
