Days out from The Station Hotel. Every pin on the map is a place we have written about: choose one to read about it, or browse the list below.

Carnoustie sits on the Angus coast with the railway station on our doorstep, so a great deal of Scotland is within reach for a day out: the harbour towns along the coast, the city of Dundee, and further afield Aberdeen, Glasgow and the Highlands.

Each place has its own guide, with the things we think are worth seeing and our articles about it. Journey times and distances are approximate, so please check current travel information before you set off.
