Montrose


Once a year we use our free 1st class GNER tickets to go and visit somewhere on the GNER network. Last year it was Glasgow and this year it has been Montrose. We knew very little about the place before we went [on the coast south of Aberdeen]

but had a really great time. It is a beautiful sandstone town with a broad high street. Saturday we went to the Scottish Wildlife Trust bird reserve on the Basin [a lagoon behind the town] and had a great time. The photo is of one the lovely streets in the town, all give a spruce up with Lottery money [what a grey place Britain would be without the endless lottery grants to "heritage" projects]
