Montrose Basin, Nature reserve in Angus, Scotland.
The circular tidal basin forms part of the South Esk estuary, featuring extensive mudflats and the largest saltmarsh area in the region.
The area experienced a significant geological event in 6100 BCE when a tsunami from the Storegga Slide in Norway reached heights of 21 meters.
The Montrose Basin Heritage Society, established in 1999, documents the archaeological findings that date back over 3,000 BCE in this region.
The Scottish Wildlife Trust operates a visitor center accessible from the A92 road, offering educational programs and wildlife observation opportunities.
The basin hosts 213 recorded bird species, including pink-footed geese, red knots, and common redshanks, making it an international conservation site.
