No “typical Scottish village”, I suggest - what did you have in mind? For free range Highland cattle, for example, you’ll need to go to Plockton.
Monifieth is one of a series of small coastal towns (not a village) looking south over to Fife. We usually stay at Carnoustie (nearby). Good sandy beaches. Train line along the coast (Perth to Dundee & on to Aberdeen), handy for getting to Dundee (V&A, ship Discovery etc) but can be noisy on sites beside it, during the day. Architecture not particularly distinctive.
If you want somewhere more obviously typical by way of buildings and still on the east coast, try the Fife coast at Anstruther / Pittenweem / Crail / St Monans for their pretty harbours & red pantile roofs, and access to the beautiful university town of St Andrews or interesting Culross (said Cue-ross, much owned National Trust for Scotland). Or try East Lothian - North Berwick, Direlton etc.
Fife coast, East Lothian coast, Angus coast - all lush green & good for golfing. If you’re wanting mountains peaks by your village, you’ll need to head north & west.
Hope that helps.

Actually been travelling to Scotland since 1978,been most places,so have a good knowledge of villages ,towns etc Monifieth just didn't look like a typical Scottish town,we are not going,decided to go back to the Black Isle.
I still don’t know what a “typical Scottish town” is, despite having a 40 year career in landscape planning that took me all over the mainland & Inner Hebrides.
Black Isle is like Angus, they both have dolphins - I hope you see some, but it’s dusk by 4pm with us, even earlier up north. As you’ll know.
