Angus can be split into three geographic areas. To the north and west, the [[topography]] is mountainous. This is the area of the [[Grampian Mountains]], [[Mounth]] hills and [[Five Glens of Angus]], which is sparsely populated and where the main industry is [[hill farming]]. [[Glas Maol]] – the highest point in Angus at {{convert|1,068|m|ft|abbr=off}} – can be found here, on the [[tripoint]] boundary with Perthshire and Aberdeenshire. To the south and east the topography consists of rolling hills (such as the [[Sidlaws]]) bordering the sea; this area is well populated, with the larger towns. In between lies [[Strathmore, Angus|Strathmore]] (''the Great Valley''), which is a fertile agricultural area noted for the growing of potatoes, soft fruit and the raising of [[Aberdeen Angus]] cattle.
