History

Introduction

Muirhead, Birkhill and Liff Community Council was formed in January 2011 by the amalgamation of the previous two community council areas of Lundie, Muirhead and Birkhill with Fowlis, Liff and Balruddery following the reorganisation of Community Council areas by Angus council in 2010.

The community council area is a mixture of rural farming and residential homes serving a vibrant commuter habitat for Dundee, Perth and the East of Scotland. There are a number of small villages and hamlets within the area and each reflect its own individual nature with a mix of traditional and modern homes both large and small. Within the area there are four Churches, two schools, a medical centre, a post office, pharmacy, small supermarket and fuel station, two licensed hospitality premises, a leisure centre and spa, golf course, bowling club, three community halls a Scout hall and numerous farms.

Natural wildlife is in abundance with plenty of native flora and fauna, a sanctuary for Red Squirrels and plenty of opportunity for walking to take in the beauty of the area via the Sidlaw Path network and protected woodlands.
