Hotels in Montrose
Montrose is a busy east coast town with something for everyone. Much of the town lies on a spit of sandy land a mile wide that extends southwards across the seaward side of the Montrose Basin, almost cutting this large tidal nature reserve off from the North Sea.
Montrose's origins lie two miles to the west of today's town, on the west shores of Montrose Basin in Old Montrose. This probably served as the port for Brechin until a Viking raid in 980 largely wiped it out.
The replacement settlement was formed on the sandy spit where it has grown ever since. The north side of the River South Esk offered deep water whatever the state of the tide, and the town that grew here was given a Royal Charter by David I in the 1100s. By 1180 there was a royal castle at Montrose, and a ferry plied between the town and Ferryden on the south side of the River South Esk. The castle was destroyed by William Wallace in 1297 and no trace of it remains.
The coast south of Montrose is superb, with highlights including the magnificent Lunan Bay, with over two miles of broad, dune-backed sand, and the rather craggier Boddin Point.
