ANGUS

Has been described as "The Royal County". The Queen and various aristocrats including the Earls of Airlie, Dalhousie, Woolton and Strathmore, all own estates in Angus.

The Queens wee howff is called Balmoral and just in case you thought it was just a hoose, there is also the small matter of almost 5,000 acres of prime land. Awright for a holiday once a year then ?

1 estate owns nearly 10% of Angus, less than 10 estates own almost a third of it and nearly 60% is in private hands.
