PROPERTY: The Angus castle at the heart of Scotland s most amazing restoration story

© SYSTEM Balintore Castle, in the heart of the Angus Glens, has been rescued from ruin by the hard work, ambition and determination of one remarkable man. Jack McKeown tours what must be Scotland’s most incredible renovation project. It was seven years after Dr David Johnston bought Balintore Castle before he stopped finding new rooms. “I was on one of the upper levels and the floor collapsed beneath me,” he recalls. “I fell through and caught myself on the joists. As my legs were dangling and I was feeling like a cut rate Indiana Jones I looked down to the floor below and realised I’d never been in that room before. Once I freed myself I headed down the stairs to explore it.”

WALK THIS WAY: A chilly trek to Cat Law, Glen Isla, Angus

WALK THIS WAY: A chilly trek to Cat Law, Glen Isla, Angus by Alan Rowan © DC Thomson The sky was a flawless blue which accentuated the contours to a sharpness matching the bitter chill of the wind as I headed along the ice-coated road beneath Balintore Castle writes Alan Rowan. The target was Cat Law, that bare, rounded hill some six miles west of Kirriemuir. Standing at a height of 678 metres (2,201 feet) it’s the lowest of the handful of Angus hills that qualify as Grahams (hills between 2,000-2,500ft), but it still dominates its closest neighbours. It had been 13 years since I was last on its summit, and on that occasion I had taken the route from Glen Prosen, combining it in a bigger circuit with nearby Corwharn, now stripped of its place on the list after a new survey found that it fell short of the magic mark.
