Eighteen miles north east of Dundee. A busy port on the North Sea, tradionally devoted to the manufacture of sail-cloth, linen and jute. Its smoked haddocks and kippered herrings are famous for their flavour. In the South transept of the ruins of the Abbey is the Round O of Arbroath", a window that formed a mark for sailors off the coast. Golf and fishing; good sands and interesting caves. Here in 1320 the lords of Scotland made a declaration of independence and chose Robert the Bruce as King.
