56.830°N 2.940°W The Five Glens of Angus are the five Highland glens located in the western portion of the Angus region of Scotland. The five glens from westernmost to easternmost are:
- Glen Isla
- Glen Prosen
- Glen Clova
- Glen Lethnot
- Glen Esk
Glen Clova is remarkable for its glaciated landscape, with the deep trough-heads of Glen Doll and Corrie Fee, an array of classic corries (glacial cirques) along its NE rim - notably Corrie Bonhard, Corrie of Clova, Corrie Brandy and Corrie Wharrel, and a cluster of diverse "rock slope failures" (rock slides, avalanches, and deformations) including The Rives on Cairn Broadlands, and several in the corries.[1]
Glen Clova's 1940s postwoman, Jean Cameron, changed the uniform for women, having asked to wear trousers for her rounds, they were named 'Camerons' after her.[2]
In 2015 red kites at the Gannochy estate in Glenesk were found to have been stealing swimmers' clothing to line their nest.[3]
