The Folk museum very interesting and has a nice cafe. In Montrose the Training school for pilots during the war is very interesting and also the museum about Montrose and surrounding are is very informative. We went to Braemar on the heritage trail the scenery is breathtaking.In Edzell the Panmure Hotel good for food .All the places I have mentioned were dog friendly.
