Other planes - civil and military - as well as the construction of an airfield during the World War can be visited in the wide area.

Glamis Castle
Glamis Castle is the home of the Earl of Strathmore who opened it to the public. Unlike many other Scottish castles, it is not run by the National Trust for Scotland. 'Queen Mum' spent her childhood here and her daughter Princess Margaret was born here... Margareth and Elizabeth (the future Queen)'s favorite children's chairs are still on display.
Great walled garden and impressive arboretrum
PS: very elegant toilet!
PS: there has to be a bit of Glamis 650th Anniversary Gin in it
