West of Montrose, forming a roughly part of the scotisch shoreline, the agate-finding location of Scurdie ness is situated. Besides the common bluish-grey agate-varieties sometimes more intensively coloured and fine banded specimen can be collected here.

More informations about scottish agates are given in Dr.H.G. Macpherson´s book “agates” (published by the British Museum (Natural History) and the National Museums of Scotland).
