When the red flags are DOWN at the nearby MoD firing range, a walk round Buddon Ness from Monifieth to Carnoustie, and past the two lighthouses, will reveal excellent views up the River Tay towards the road bridge, especially in the mid to late afternoons when the sun is beginning to set to the West. Make sure those red flags are not flying though
