The magnificence of Lunan Bay is in its abundance of natural attractions.
This Angus destination, located about three miles south of Montrose, has a spacious and clean sandy two-mile-long beach that delivers privacy regardless of the increasing numbers flocking there on warm days.
It is backed by sand dunes stacked in valleys as deep as 15 metres in places, giving children (and adults!) the chance for some sand sledding fun.
Lunan Bay is framed by low cliffs that afford shelter, a spectacle and a setting for a glorious three-hour walk that takes in the ruins of the historic Red Castle.

The tiny and beautiful island of Ulva is one of my favourite places. You get to it via a little ferry which you call by signalling from a wee slipway on Mull. I dream of going back and spending a week wild camping and exploring. Here’s my dog Pepper posing on Ulva with views of Mull behind.
