In and Around Montrose

For the last week we've been hanging out in Montrose and visiting the local country side and townships.

First time either of us saw a charge area for electric cars was in Montrose

We visited the beach at Auchmithie 

Went for a walk along the St Cyrus beach, found a cool little cave and jelly fish.

There was a crazy amount of dead crabs along this beach, so I had to make a crab out of crabs.

There were little abandoned houses along the coast that fishermen used to stay in. This is the fireplace from inside one.

At the end of the walk we came across an old graveyard. There's a local poet buried here.  He had a crush on a girl who rejected him, he then pretty much instantly shot himself in the head. There was also a little house in the corner of the graveyard where a caretaker used to live. The graveyard needed constant watch due to body snatchers.

Found this bone just outside one of the graves. I think the rabbits are are working with Zombies.

This is the Montrose Steeple. You can pretty much see it from anywhere in town.

This is Fasque House, owned by the Glastone Family. (It was sold 5 years ago and it now used for weddings and things, but some of the estate is still owned by the Gladstone Family). William Ewart Gladstone, British Prime Minister that Gladstone Queensland is named after, used to live here.

We saw a beautiful peacock in the car park

And they let us take some photos out the front even though they were preparing for a wedding. 

We went for a drive to Aberlemno and saw these stones that were worked by the Picts (local tribe of people) between the 7th and 9th Century. Harley Davidson is also from this area. We think we drove past his house but we couldn't see a plaque.
