Angus (Aonghas around Gaelic) is one of the traditional counties and also one of 32 unitary council regions around Scotland and a Lieutenancy area. A one council area borders onto Aberdeenshire, Perth and Kinross and the City of Dundee. Independent industries include agriculture and fishing.
A traditional county (likewise referred to as Forfarshire) borders Kincardineshire to the north-east, Aberdeenshire to the north, Perthshire to the west. Southward, it faces Fife across the Firth of Tay.
A county may be split into ternary geographic areas. Northwards & west, a topography is mountainous. This is the locality of the 5 Angus Glens. A front yard is sparsely populated & a independent industry is hill-farming. South & east, a topography consists of rolling hills bordering a sea. A metropolitan area is fairly swell populated by using a big towns & a City of Dundee on the coast. Around between these ii areas lies Strathmore, the Dandy Valley, the fertile farming vicinity, noted for potatoes, Angus cattle, and easy fruit.
