Riverside path north of Edzell This is the path that follows the true right bank of the North Esk river from Gannochy Bridge to Edzell. Well graded and part surfaced, it is a much easier route to follow than the path on the opposite bank.

The approach to Edzell from the south A straight road through woodland brings one to the Dalhousie Memorial Arch which spans the road at the entrance to the village. The arch dates from 1887/8 and promises a degree of interest and excitement beyond. Edzell is a pleasant enough village with cafes, pub, a few shops etc, and a nice open parkland at the far end, but maybe not too exciting.

The Inglis Memorial Hall A rather grandiose late Victorian building standing by the main street through Edzell. Built in memory of Robert Inglis, a local church minister, by his family. Now used as a splendid village hall for various functions.
