Brechin is in the heart of the beautiful Strathmore countryside, between Dundee and Aberdeen. The town has 7,500 residents and many historic buildings, such as Brechin Cathedral which dates from the 13th century. The church is famed for its beautiful stained-glass windows and for the round tower that stands nearby. Rising to over 80ft, the tower dates from the 11th century and is Celtic in origin. Brechin Castle is also near the cathedral and although it dates from the 13th century, it was rebuilt in the early 18th century. Wealth came to Brechin in the 19th century with the development of the textile industry, and in 1870 there were four major mills in the town.
