Features Sneak Peek: June 19, 2021
Willie Shand wanders along gorgeous Glen Prosen in our June 19, 2021 issue.
Willie joins a long history of explorers who delighted in the peaceful views of the Angus glen. It was here that Captain Robert Falcon Scott and Dr Edward Adrian Wilson planned their ill-fated expedition to the South Pole.
There is now a magnificent carved granite monument at Scott’s View in Glen Prosen. The monument, erected in 2012, depicts Scott and Wilson, penguins, dogs and horses as well as a route map of the voyage. It’s worth a visit.
We will also visit the ruins of the cottage where the operatic soprano Dame Nellie Melba was born just before her family emigrated to Australia.
It’s easy to forget just how magical it is to escape all the noise of our modern world, but a day in Glen Prosen certainly gives you the opportunity to press the reset button.
Dedicated To Wildlife
Pat Coulter celebrates the extraordinary life of conservationist Sir Peter Scott, founder of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust.
As well as becoming a conservationist and naturalist, multi-talented Peter excelled as a wildlife artist, renowned for painting huge canvases filled with dramatic skies and his beloved wild geese and ducks on the wing.
After setting up the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, Peter brought back the Hawaiian goose from the brink. Read more about Peter in the magazine.
