About The Drums

The Drums lies in Angus along the B955 route into Glen Clova, serving as a gateway to the Cairngorms. Most visitors arrive via the A90 from Dundee, then head inland through Forfar. The village sits on an elevated ridge between Glen Clova and Strathmore, with approximately 2 EV charging points available. Its name derives from the Gaelic "druim," meaning ridge, perfectly describing its position on the elevated spine separating the glen from the valley below.
