HistoriaImpromptu Ice Hockey on Swannie Ponds in Winter Conditions
Panmure is noted for its regional connection to winter activity in Angus and Dundee as the recent sharp freeze brought locals to frozen ponds across the area. In Dundee, residents took to Swannie Ponds for an impromptu game of ice hockey, while parts of Perthshire and Angus, including Kirriemuir, saw sledging amid amber and yellow snow alerts on 6 January 2026 (thecourier.co.uk). The frozen surfaces offered rare opportunities for community winter sport in the region, underscoring how severe weather conditions can spur spontaneous recreation, a context relevant to winter sports enthusiasts across Angus and Dundee, including Panmure.
