  • Motorhome pitches at an Angus farm five minutes' drive from Kirriemuir
  • A five-minute drive to Glamis Castle; half an hour to Dundee
  • Dogs and kids welcome; chemical disposal point on site
For a small town, Kirriemuir has an awful lot going for it… This Angus location is often known as the ‘Gateway to the Glens’ – and it’s also a ‘fairytale town’, as it’s the birthplace of Peter Pan creator JM Barrie (now commemorated in several ways around the town, including a museum and a park). On top of all that it’s the home of a traditional music festival, and also has interest for metal fans, who head here to see the life-sized bronze statue of AC/DC frontman Bon Scott. With horse riding, golf and birdwatching on the menu too (along with plenty of places to shop and eat), it makes an excellent base for a break full of variety. About five minutes’ drive from the centre of town is Knocknahushoch Farm, a quiet rural spot that’s got just a handful of motorhome pitches where guests can park up and relax in peaceful surroundings. It’s a simple setup here in terms of facilities – there’s a chemical disposal point but please note you’ll need to be self sufficient for toilet and shower facilities. Dogs and kids are welcome on site, and there should be plenty of space for everyone to stretch their legs on the grass area by the hardstanding pitches. Once you've explored Kirriemuir, there's plenty more to do nearby – perhaps walks in the Angus Glens, an outing to Glamis Castle or a day trip to the various museums and galleries of Dundee (half an hour's drive away).

What customers say

Peaceful rural spot with stunning 360° views and loads of space. Owners are super friendly & helpful, with easy access and decent basic facilities. Great for dogs and chilling out. Mostly self-contained units needed, but overall fantastic value and a beautiful escape. Many keen to return!

Windsock non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked I really enjoyed the peace and quiet here. You could literally hear a pin drop!! A rare find nowadays with so many roads. Far away from busy roads, lovely views, surrounded by nature and complete silence. Dark sky too but sadly a cloudy night when I was there,

Windsock non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Wonderful place to stay, peaceful & quiet. Ideal base for visiting other towns cities around the east coast of Scotland. Kirriemuir is only 2 miles or so away wheres shops and pubs are plentiful. The people are very friendly, this was the second time we have stayed at knocknahushoch Farm and hopefully we will be returning next year.

Windsock non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Scenery was spectacular! Site was rural but close to lots of activities.

Disliked Nothing the site owners could do, but 4 dogs were left in a van to bark constantly for over 8 hours. They were still barking gone midnight. Only thing that spoiled an absolutely gorgeous site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

If you are looking for a quiet place I would recommend unreservedly.

Bridgit G.

Windsock non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked It was so quiet and the views were wonderful.

Although there were no 'facilities' there was grey water and toilet disposal points and as a separate hose pipe for washing out your toilet right next to the disposal. Fresh drinking water was nearby, only steps away. It was all wonderfully convenient.

We also enjoyed that thru the day we were the only ones there!

Disliked There was really nothing that we didn't like. It was perfection.
