Woodhill is a settlement in Angus, Scotland. It lies at a central point between Carnoustie and Monifieth on the east on an unclassified road linking the A92 and A930 roads.[1] Woodhill House was erected in 1604 by William Auchinleck who later became Provost of Dundee.[2] It was demolished and rebuilt in 1908.[3]
The area has been occupied since the Neolithic period, as evidenced by a Cursus monument, identified from cropmarks, as well as Bronze Age short cist burials that are found periodically.[4]
