Glenesk, also known as Glen Esk, is one of the five glens of Angus in eastern Scotland. This historic and picturesque glen stretches northward from the town of Edzell into the Grampian Mountains. The area is characterized by its stunning natural landscapes, including heather-covered hills, ancient woodland, and the clear waters of the North Esk River.

The glen has a rich cultural heritage, with evidence of human settlement dating back thousands of years, including prehistoric standing stones and medieval castle ruins. The Glenesk Folk Museum, housed in a converted church known as "The Retreat," showcases the social history and traditions of this Highland community. The area's cultural significance is deeply rooted in its agricultural heritage, particularly sheep farming, and its historical connection to Scottish clan territories, notably the Lindsay and Maule families.
