Our Town
Montrose is known for having the widest High Street in Scotland. The town has a beautiful view of a tidal lagoon, Montrose Basin. It has an important commercial port for the oil and gas industry. Between the High Street and the beach, there is a lovely area known as the Mid Links with a mile of parks. There are also the golf courses, the main one being the 1562 Golf Links. Beyond the courses lies the magnificent beach which attracts swimmers, families and dog walkers.

Inner Wheel Day
Members from our 3 neighbiouring clubs were invited to join us for an Afternoon Tea to celebrate the Centenary, on IW Day. A very happy occasion. At exactly 2.30pm musicians from Montrose Acedemy struck up “Happy Birthday”. Lots of memories, an excellent spread & a fun quiz kept everyone entertained.
