Between Dundee and Forfar, you'll find the charming village of Meigle. In the centre of the picturesque village is the Meigle Sculptured Stone Museum, which houses over thirty Pictish Stones and other carvings from as far back as the eighth and tenth centuries. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1905 to 1908, is buried in the village. The Kinloch Arms Hotel is a pub serving a variety of traditional pub fare and drinks, and there is a local store where you can stock up on necessities. In addition to the impressive Glamis Castle, built in the 14th century, the nearby village of Kirriemuir is home to a museum honouring J. M. Barrie's birthplace and its rich history. Visitors to the Gin Bothy Experience can spend the day sipping afternoon tea and trying different kinds of gin. Or, if you're willing to travel a little further, the city of Dundee on Scotland's coast is home to a number of museums, such as the Verdant Works, HMS Unicorn, and the Dundee Museum of Transport. To get to know the rest of Perthshire, Meigle makes a great home base.

One of the best tvs we have had in a cottage .Very nicely furnished lots of storage in kitchen however not enough cutlery and mugs and cooking equipment to be able to fill dishwasher had to hand wash .No tin opener that we could find . Very friendly owners and staff in the pub .A nice area within easy reach of St Andrews , Dundee and Scone Palace . We didnât realise our garden part would be accessed via the fire door by quite a number of people and children coming through from the pub .Good job our dog was friendly,as he was out there a lot .

We found the downstairs bathroom a bit inconvenient during the night but we were aware of this when we booked. We were made to feel very welcome. I only scored 8 for recommendation as I am always very reluctant to give advice to people on holiday accommodation.

Owners were very friendly as were the staff in the tavern. We ate all but one day at the tavern where the food was second to none.
