Letham is a small, attractive village in the heart of rural Angus, Scotland, set among rolling farmland with the low sweep of the Sidlaw Hills not far away. It sits a short drive from the market town of Forfar and within easy reach of the city of Dundee, so it feels rural but well connected to larger services and employment.
The village retains a pleasant mix of traditional stone cottages, a parish church and community hall, reflecting its agricultural roots and 18th–19th century development. Today the local economy still leans on farming and small businesses, with many residents commuting to nearby towns; social life centres on school and community events, giving Letham a close‑knit, village atmosphere with a strong sense of local identity.
