Forming the southern edge of the Cairngorms National Park, the Angus Glens comprises five separate glens (or valleys), which are described as resembling the fingers of a giant's hand.
Scoured by huge glaciers during the Ice Age these glens, including Clova, Isla, Prosen, Lethnot and Esk, stretch from the flatter lowlands - known as the Straths - gently upwards like outspread fingers towards the summit tops of rounded hill tops and mountain summits.
The Glens are home to 14 Munros, some of which are claimed to be the easiest to summit of all the 283 Munros.
