Join us on a day trip to explore the best that Angus can offer – Scottish heritage, delicious local food and drink, beautiful beaches, nesting puffins, the chance of seeing dolphins and you can even have some fun rockpooling!
Meeting in Carnoustie at 10am, we visit a number of the best locations along the coast to spot wildlife and enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches in Scotland – Carnoustie Beach, Seaton Cliffs and Auchmithie Beach. We visit Arbroath Abbey where the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320 and have a taste of Arbroath Smokies as well as visiting a local distillery.
Each beach stop involves a guided wildlife walk to spot birds, sea mammals, wildflowers and appreciate the beautiful scenery. One of the sites has a small Puffin colony and we usually see them going in and out of their burrows during the breeding season!
Our small groups of up to six people means that our tours are friendly, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions of your guide. Binoculars and a telescope are provided. Remember water, sun hat & sun protection. Sturdy shoes for walking and waterproofs are also essential. We return to the meeting point in Carnoustie between 4pm and 5pm.
Species we expect to see (though not on every tour) include Puffin, Gannet, Eider Duck, Fulmar, Arctic tern, Guillemot, Razorbill, Kittiwake, Grey seal, Common seal, Bottlenose dolphin, Sea campion, Purple milk-vetch, Northern marsh orchid, Kidney vetch, Burnet moth.
