  2. Hi Margaret, you could get there so easy from Dundee, its just a bus ride and its so peaceful and beautiful, it makes you feel good just looking at the water and trees and every thing.

  4. Ok, it's tempting, I must say, to get a bus there. Where's the pond though? Is it far from the town centre? And does it have a name?

    About a 15 min walk from the town center, well worth the effort.
