Five Glens of Angus
Glen Isla
Drained by the River Isla.
Glen Prosen
Drained by the Prosen Water.
Glen Clova
Drained by the River South Esk. Glen Clova is remarkable for its glaciated landscape, with the deep trough-heads of Glen Doll (drained by the White Water, a tributary of the South Esk) and Corrie Fee, an array of classic corries (glacial cirques) along its NE rim – notably Corrie Bonhard, Corrie of Clova, Corrie Brandy and Corrie Wharrel, and a cluster of diverse "rock slope failures" (rock slides, avalanches, and deformations) including The Rives on Cairn Broadlands, and several in the corries.David Jarman, Rock slope failures: the isolated Glen Clova grouping, in Wishart A. Mitchell & Ailsa Guild, The Quaternary of Glen Clova & Strathmore, QRA Field Guide, 2019, pp. 150–175
Glen Clova's 1940s postwoman, Jean Cameron, changed the uniform for women, having asked to wear trousers for her rounds, they were named 'Camerons' after her.{{Cite web|title=The Coming of the Camerons {{!}} Scotland on Screen|url=https://scotlandonscreen.org.uk/browse-films/the-coming-of-the-camerons|access-date=2021-12-09|website=scotlandonscreen.org.uk}}
The village of Clova is situated towards the north of the Glen.
Glen Lethnot
Drained by the Water of Saughs, which becomes the 'West Water'.
