Montrose Museum
Montrose Natural History Collection
About this collection
From its origins the museum has a long history of reflecting the natural history of Montrose and of Angus and this is shown in the large and extensive natural history collection displayed in the museum.
Eider ducks, Ringed plovers and Merganser.
What are the highlights of this collection
Almost all of the creatures which live around Angus, some encouraged, some discouraged are displayed here in several displays each of which reflects a habitat from the coastal rocky and sandy shores, through arable and woodland habitats to the very different highland areas.
Along with many examples of invertebrates and plants the natural history collection displays many fine specimens of birds and mammals including the Skylark, Grey Partridge, Stoat, Weasel, Kestrel, Brown Hare, Rook, and the Carrion Crow.
How can I find out more
Almost all of the collection is on display, and the museum is able to act as a gateway towards the natural history, both of the Montrose area, and also of Angus as a whole.
