Angus is first recorded as one of the provinces of Scotland in 937, when Dubacan, the Mormaer of Angus, is recorded in the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba as having died at the Battle of Brunanburh. The village of Westmuir first started to develop when land was given as smallholdings to soldiers returning from the Napoleonic Wars. The land here used to be used extensively for growing soft fruit, mainly raspberries. There were at least 8 small privately owned holdings where the fruit was produced in the village and a large farm managed by Smedleys at herdhill. The farmland is now used mainly for cereal crops, potatoes and oilseed. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February.
