Because of the siting of the Railway Station, provided mainly to service the farming community and latterly, the Farina Mill or Granary, and the former reservoir ponds for Dundee City Council (now Monikie Country Park), the concentration has centred on the area which became Monikie village, mainly as a result of a new house building programme in the 1970s and 1980s.

It is wrong to think of Monikie as only the village but, as the parish name, it is still relevant in most of the addresses in this rural area, stretching from Hynd Castle in the north, to the coast of the Firth of Tay at the south.

There is also a cafe/restaurant in the country park called “Cafe Byzantium” which operates late spring to early autumn.

Moffat & Williamson operate a two-hourly bus service, numbered the 78 & 79, which both go from Monikie to Dundee via Broughty Ferry daily.

[4] Stagecoach Strathtay operate a one-bus-a-day service, numbered the 181, which goes from Monikie to Forfar or Monifieth on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays only.
