No tree surgeon listed in Glamis yet.

A tree surgeon carries out specialist tree work - pruning, crown reduction, felling, stump grinding and emergency storm damage clearance.

Trees near buildings, power lines or boundaries need professional attention - chainsaw work at height is not a DIY job under any circumstances.

Check they carry public liability insurance and ask whether the trees are covered by a Tree Preservation Order or are in a conservation area before any work begins.

Glamis is a small Strathmore village dominated by one of Scotland's most celebrated castles - Glamis Castle, ancestral home of the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne and childhood home of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.

The castle, with its distinctive skyline of towers and turrets, is open to visitors and is among the most visited historic houses in Scotland, associated with Shakespeare's Macbeth and steeped in legend and royal connection.

The village itself is modest - a cluster of estate cottages and a church - but sits in beautiful Strathmore farmland and draws a steady stream of visitors drawn by the castle.

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 across the Strathmore valley 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.
