A very good place to visit. It's on the coast between Dundee and St Andrews.
Owned by Forestry Commission. Although full of people near the car park, you don't have to go too far and it is fairly quiet away from the tracks. It's big - twelve square miles! - and is mostly Scots Pine and Corsican pine. A lot of it is not too dense so you can walk around off the tracks (unlike your average impenetrable commercial Sitka spruce plantation.)
As it is in Scotland, you have the right to roam responsibly, and to wild camp responsibly. It is also close to the sand dunes and beach - although normally there is a public right to light fires on the foreshore in Scotland I'm not sure if this applies here as much is nature reserve.
Apparently mesolithic hunter-gatherers used to do live here.
It can get windy and cold -you would need to be well equipped.
