Modern Flats
The back of the Green Street flats, seen from Queen Street. If anything this side is even more out-of-keeping with the surroundings than the front.

Sparrowcroft
This is the route into the town centre recommended by various satellite navigation systems. Note the sign saying that it is unsuitable for through traffic, and that the lane is only just wide enough for a car, and much too narrow for a large van or lorry. If that weren't bad enough, the routes require a *left* turn into it through an angle of about 150º! The AA online Travel Planner also featured this convoluted route but I am pleased to report that after it had been drawn to their attention it has been corrected.

Osnaburg Bar
The house with the cutaway feature in its gable end, and the round tower in the re-entrant, is now a public house. It takes its name from Osnaburg Street, which flanks it on the left in this view.

Osnaburg Street
Osnaburg is a type of coarse linen cloth woven in Forfar from the 18th century onward. It was first imported from the German city of Osnabrück, after which takes its name, ad became one of the most important textile products of Lowland Scotland. The street is linked to the Cross by a pend, and these houses date from the 18th century.
