Montrose has a population of around 12,000 people (2021 census), and it was here, in 1612, that one of Scotland's most famous soldiers was born.
Birthplace of a Royalist general
James Graham was born in Montrose in 1612 and later became the 1st Marquess of Montrose, one of the most striking military commanders of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. Fighting for the Royalist cause, he won a rapid series of victories across Scotland in 1644-45 before being defeated and, in 1650, executed in Edinburgh. The town's tidal basin, just inland from the harbour he would have known, is today a nature reserve for wintering geese and ospreys.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Montrose shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent than relying on what's on a local shelf — many Montrose shoppers would otherwise have to travel to Dundee or Aberdeen for a wider selection.
