Fine little walk up to this viewpoint on Balmashanner Hill overlooking Forfar, the Valley Of Strathmore, and the Braes Of Angus. The War Memorial was officially opened on 11th September 1921 by Queen Mary (bet she didn’t walk up here). Beautiful autumn colours.

Built in 1921 to commemorate the fallen of the First World War this monument sits prominently above the town on Balmashanner Hill (locally Bummie). Unfortunately the tower is locked and only open on occasional special days.

View from near the tower This is the view looking slightly west of north over Forfar and Strathmore towards the Grampians with a hazy Glen Clova straight ahead.
