About Douglastown

Douglastown is a historic hamlet located in Kinnettles, Angus, just three miles south-west of Forfar.

Although the mill ceased operations in 1834, Douglastown remains a point of interest for those researching local heritage and planning applications in this quaint Scottish community.
