Today is World Mental Health Day. We‘re always very touched when our guests tell us how much they’ve de-stressed, relaxed and enjoyed being surrounded by nature at Dalnaglar. There really is healing power in nature. So when life gets stressful, wherefer you are, if you can, we recommend getting into the great outdoors and taking a moment to feel safe and happy with what’s around you. 🌲🌿

Nature for mental health, how nature can make you feel better.

Psssttt…. the roe deer like to ‘check-in’ early morning and early evening. They’re very gentle and agile creatures who are often watching you (or have picked up your scent) before you’ve spotted them.

It’s been a week or two of sprucing up and ongoing summer maintenance here at Dalnalgalr ……. and we do love a nice fence to brighten the place up.

Update 06:45

Summary

Angus is in the middle of a very serious emergency.
Flooding is unprecedented. Levels are over half a metre over the last highest EVER.

Most roads are affected. A90 is closed in both directions and is not passable for any have a go heroes.

DO NOT TRAVEL!
If you think you have an appointment, you don't!
If you REALLY think you need to get to work, check with your boss
If you're a boss, PLEASE consider your employees and the need for them to attend work

It has been a very challenging night, Brechin defences were breached around 04:00 this morning and the river levels are around 4.4m above normal levels. This is completely unprecedented and at these heights, gauges have become unreliable.

We completely understand that it is very hard to leave your home but parts of Brechin, and increasingly other parts of Angus, are now only accessible via boat. Rescue crews are now dealing with around 100 calls from areas which were asked to evacuate yesterday evening.

If you think that you are in danger of flooding, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE IT TOO LATE. If asked to evacuate, please do so, hard as it is.

Remember that the Met Office red warning remains in place until noon today (Friday 20 October) and rain will continue to fall well into Saturday, so conditions will continue to deteriorate for sometime.

We have three rest centres at Montrose Sports Centre and Brechin and Forfar Community Campuses. These are open for all and yes, please bring pets too (and anything that they need)

More updates will follow as we receive more information from partners on the ground.

Please stay at home and stay safe (unless told to move).



Thanks to Megan from Brechin for the photo.

Did you know that Highland Coos are the oldest cattle breed in the world? They appeared in the Outer Hebrides in the 6th century. We have the most beautiful herd on our doorstep here at Dalnalgalr Castle Estate, including the original black coos. We’re very lucky and we love them as much as our guests do.
