Old cottages, Glamis This row of late 18thC cottages was originally built for estate workers, but in more recent times became the Angus Folk Museum. That was forced to close in 2017 due to structural problems and the museum collection is now scattered about with some at the House of Dun near Montrose.

Market cross in Glamis The cross dates from the 17th century, but after Glamis lost its market, it also lost the cross, which was removed and forgotten about, apparently hidden in undergrowth within the estate grounds. The cross was restored to this site in 1976 on a new plinth.
