About Montrose - Planning Applications & Local Development

Montrose is a town and former royal burgh located in Angus, Scotland, positioned 28 miles north of Dundee and 37 miles south of Aberdeen. Nestled between the North and South Esk rivers, it is the northernmost coastal town in Angus, historically known for its natural harbour and trade in skins, hides, and cured salmon during medieval times. This rich maritime heritage may influence current planning applications and developments in the area. The town has a population of approximately 12,100 (2016 estimate). It sits within the Angus district.

There are currently no active flood warnings for the Montrose area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.
