Angus Coastal Tours – new for 2021!
Unfortunately we went into lockdown just as we were starting our new Angus Coastal Tours but we hope to start this exciting tour in spring 2021 if possible.
Join us on a day trip to explore the best that the Angus coast can offer – beautiful beaches, sea bird colonies, coastal wildflowers, the best places to see whales and dolphins and traditional seaside fare for lunch (vegetarian options are available).
Meeting at Monifieth train station at 10am, we visit a number of the best locations along the coast to spot wildlife and enjoy some of the best beaches in Scotland. Where we go depends on where whales and dolphins have recently been spotted – we are members of the Angus Cetacean Sightings Group so get regular updates – but it will be three or four of the following top wildlife sites – Monifieth Bay, Easthaven Beach, Seaton Cliffs and Lunan Bay, along with a lunch stop in Arbroath or Lunan. Each stop involves a guided wildlife walk to spot birds, sea mammals, wildflowers and appreciate the beautiful scenery.
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. Lunch is provided at a café but bring your own water, sun hat & sun protection. Sturdy shoes for walking and waterproofs are also essential! We return to Monifieth train station 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, Harbour porpoise, Minke whale, Sea campion, Purple milk-vetch, Northern marsh orchid, Kidney vetch, Burnet moth.
