Montrose, St. Cyrus, Hillside, Johnshaven

The nickname of Montrose FC is "The Gable Endies" and therein lies a clue to the coastal town's history, which can be traced all the way back to a King David charter of 1140.
It blossomed as a trading port, reflected in addresses like "India Street," "Baltic Street" and "America Street," and wealthy merchants were fond of building their imposing homes gable to gable.
Montrose lays claim to having the widest High Street in Scotland and attractive narrow closes. It overlooks a two mile tidal lagoon nature reserve which attracts thousands of visitors every year - in the shape of pink-footed geese and other birdlife.
Like nearby Mearns communities St Cyrus and Johnshaven, it is well placed for travelling to Dundee and Aberdeen and a population in the region of 12,000 has expanded on the back of the North Sea oil and gas sector.
The local golf club is among the oldest in the world and the beaches enjoy regular high ratings.
