Hillside in Angus, Scotland is a small coastal village on the eastern seaboard, set close to the A92 and nestled between Montrose and Arbroath. It sits by the North Sea, with easy access to sandy beaches and coastal paths and is within short reach of the nature-rich Montrose Basin, making it a quiet base for coastal walking and birdwatching.
Historically the village expanded in the 19th century as transport links and seaside leisure grew, and today its character is largely residential with local agriculture and tourism playing a part in the local economy. Socially it feels like a close-knit community popular with walkers, anglers and people seeking a coastal lifestyle, while nearby amenities and employers in Montrose and surrounding towns mean many residents commute for work; golfers also value the close proximity of Montrose Golf Links.
