Other places to stay in and around Clova
This
cosy traditional cottage with a wood-burning stove offers very comfortable
accommodation for couples. It is ideally situated for hill-walking in
the Angus Glens. The Bothy has its own enclosed garden which is ideal
for relaxation or just to enjoy the view.
Glen Clova is one of the great areas for walking in Scotland. For the Munro baggers there are eight, which you can climb from the Glen Doll car park, only a short drive from the property. Glen Clova is an ideal place to cycle on quiet roads and in beautiful surroundings. Mountain bikes are also catered for on newly made hill tracks which criss-cross the hillside.
The exact meaning of Clach na Brain is not certain, but one suggestion is the translation 'Stone of the potbelly', presumably referring to the hillocks in the fields in front of the house. It is affectionately known locally as “The Clachie”.
You can see many different birds in the Glen, and the RSPB and SWT reserves at Kinnordy Loch and Montrose Basin provide different habitats in which to view them. If you enjoy fishing, permits are obtainable from the Airlie Estates office at Cortachy, and a variety of coubtry sports are available on several local estates. Wet day activities could include visits to Glamis Castle, the birthplace of JM Barrie - author of Peter Pan - or the Gateway to the Glens Museum in Kirriemuir.
