The Craigs of Lundie are a range of precipitous cliffs 
forming the front of one of the western Sidlaws near the 
village of Lundie, and besides the fragrant Marjoram, afford 
many other interesting plants. The Viola lutea grows on 
their summits, and at their base the Drosera rotundifolia , 
and other curious marsh plants. The Arabis hirsuta , and 
Viola Tiirta , are found among the rocks, and various rare 
mosses and lichens that will be noticed in their proper places. 
Indeed the parish of Lundie, though no notice is taken of its 
vegetation in the New Statistical Account of Forfarshire, is 
well worthy of being perambulated by the lover of Flora, as 
well as the admirer of* quiet, rural, and picturesque scenery. 
To both, the lakes, though not extensive, will afford much 
interest. The Loch of Pitlyal is a beautiful little sheet of 
water, situated in a pleasant and retired place, its banks 
finely wooded, and its surface animated with numerous wild- 
ducks, and several stately swans, that gracefully wend their 
way amid the bright water-lilies. The Lochs of Lundie and 
Balshandie abound in marsh and lake plants, and the Long 
Loch, a bare upland tarn, has its banks covered with a turf 
of the singular Littorella lacustris. These lakes give rise to 
the small river Dighty, which, after a meandering course of 
15 or 16 miles through a beautifully diversified valley, em- 
bracing portions of the parishes of Lundie, Auchterhouse, 
Strath martin, Mains, and Monifieth, disembogues itself into 
the Frith of Tay, a little to the westward of the latter village.
