Thatched cottages in Glamis

An unusual sight in Scotland as there are not that many straw or reed thatched cottages in the country, the majority being in the east.

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.

Glamis kirk

The Church of Scotland kirk dates from 1792 and stands on the site of the previous church of St Fergus.

Pictish cross slab, Glamis

I walked past this twice before spotting it in the front garden of the old manse. The only view now is over the top of gates at either end of the garden, access being denied, whilst the view from the far side is part obscured by a fir tree. The slab may be 7th century and this side shows a fish - probably a salmon. The other side shows a Celtic style cross.

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.

Access barred!

The new owners of the Glamis Manse have seen fit to stop us visiting a nationally important Pictish stone. I have contacted Historic Scotland and they have confirmed that the owner is acting within the law and that the public have no legal rights to visit any registered monument (unless they have the owners permission). A very sad day for public access.
