Lunan Water is a river in the Scottish Council Area Angus . It is not to be confused with the Lunan Burn in the neighboring county of Perth and Kinross .

The river flows east from Rescobie Loch and after about 500 m reaches the nearby Balgavies Loch . He leaves this again in an easterly direction. The Lunan Water flows further east to its mouth and runs through sparsely populated, rural areas. It passes Friockheim and finally flows into Lunan Bay after a total of 21 km near the hamlet of Lunan , about 6.5 km south of Montrose . The difference in height between the source and the mouth is 60 m. Its main tributary is the Vinnie . In the 19th century, trout and few salmon populated Lunan Water.
