Angus/Forfarshire (Forfar, Dundee, Arbroath, Brechin, Montrose, Carnoustie,
Kirriemuir)
 When
George Grant transported four Angus bulls from Scotland to the
middle of the Kansas Prairie in 1873, they were part of the
Scotsman's dream to found a colony of wealthy, stock-raising
Britishers.
Grant died five years later, and many of
the settlers at his Victoria, Kansas, colony later returned to their
homeland. However, these four Angus bulls, probably from the herd of
George Brown of Westertown, Fochabers, Scotland, made a lasting
impression on the U.S. cattle industry.
Angus has a colourful and dramatic
history. The ancient Picts worked these lands and inscribed their
images on the local landscape, cutting their inscriptions in to the
stones that reveal their presence to us today.
There are many museums, historic sites and buildings to be enjoyed.
Each of the burghs is steeped in history that you can see and touch
by taking the town heritage trails. Whether your interest is in
ancient civilisations, medieval battles or historical houses, Angus
has a rich story to tell. |
