About Architects
An architect designs buildings, extensions and renovations - turning your ideas into detailed plans that meet building regulations and planning requirements.
Whether you're planning a new build, converting a barn or adding an extension, an architect will manage the design process from initial sketches through to construction drawings.
In Scotland, look for an architect registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and ideally chartered with the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS).
About Forfar
Forfar is the county town of Angus, sitting at the centre of the Strathmore valley about 14 miles north of Dundee.
The town has a long history as an administrative and market centre - a royal burgh since the 12th century, with Forfar Castle once a favoured residence of Scottish kings.
Forfar Loch Country Park on the western edge of town provides a popular green space and the loch itself was used to trial the world's first practical steamboat by William Symington in the 1780s.
The town is perhaps best known nationally for the Forfar bridie, a meat pastry that has been made here since at least the 19th century and remains closely associated with the area.
Forfar has a full range of shops, schools and services and acts as the main service centre for a wide rural hinterland across central Angus.
About Angus
(opens in new tab)Angus is a council area on the east coast of Scotland, stretching from the North Sea shoreline inland through the fertile Strathmore valley to the high ground of the Angus Glens and the fringes of the Cairngorms.
Forfar is the county town and administrative centre, while Arbroath on the coast is the largest settlement - a town with deep historical significance as the place where the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320.
The area divides naturally into three bands: the coastal strip with its harbours, beaches and golf links; the broad agricultural plain of Strathmore running through the middle; and the Highland glens - Clova, Prosen, Isla, Esk and Lethnot - that reach northward into the mountains.
Angus has a strong identity shaped by farming, fishing and food - the Arbroath smokie and the Forfar bridie are both nationally recognised and the soft fruit industry around Blairgowrie and Strathmore has been a mainstay for generations.
Transport links include the main east coast rail line serving Arbroath, Carnoustie and Montrose, the A90 dual carriageway connecting Dundee to Aberdeen and a network of rural roads that reach into some of the most scenic and least-visited parts of Highland Scotland.
