Friday's Fascinating Fact: Restenneth Priory near Forfar is a beautiful location with a fascinating history.

The masonry at the base of the tower dates from the 1100s, but there's a strong possibility that this was where Nechtan King of the Picts built his first stone church in the 8th century.

King Alexander I saw something in Restenneth, and chose to move the sacred annals of Iona here to keep them safe from encroaching Scandinavians.

Robert the Bruce also picked this spot to bury his infant child John in 1327, the twin brother of King David II.

Friday's Fascinating Fact: Mountaineer Sir Hugh Munro, who grew up on a family estate near Kirriemuir, gave his name to some of Scotland's most well-known landmarks.

Sir Hugh is best known for his list of Scottish munros - mountains which have reached over 3,000ft. In 1889, Sir Hugh was a founding member of the Scottish Mountaineering Club, and the original munro list was published in the club journal in 1891. The list has been revised since, with some hills being demoted and others promoted, as a result of increasing accuracy of heighting technology.

Sadly, Sir Hugh did not manage to climb all of the mountains on his list before his death in 1919, but his legacy lives on, with over 4,000 people completing the list, many of whom are recorded in the SMC journal.
