The harbour in the ancient town of Arbroath in Angus. There seems to have been a port of some sort here in Pictish times and later the town's abbey was the birthplace of the most important document in Scottish history.

The beautiful, and surprisingly extensive, remains of Arbroath Abbey in the heart of Arbroath in Angus. The abbey was founded in 1178 by King William I for a group of Tironensian monks previously resident at Kelso Abbey.

Yesterday we had the most amazing kayaking experience I've ever had. Lead by Camy from https://www.arbroathclifftours.com/ we paddled north from Arbroath Cliffs to visit a series of sea caves. Despite being a NE loon I had no idea how wonderful they were. Set in Lower ORS) sandstones (U ORS unconformity beautifully exposed!) narrow sea entrances gave access to passages and chambers with fantastic limestone speleothem / flow-stone. Highly, highly recommended! #Arbroath #Scotland #geology #kayaking

@UndisScot But also: "Much more historically significant was the implication elsewhere in the declaration that in future the King of Scotland could only rule with the approval of the people of Scotland. It was the first time anyone, anywhere, had thought about royalty in this way."

Gesehen: Wildes Meer und steile Klippen – Schottlands unbekannte Ostküste
Aus der Sendung „Euroblick“ des Bayerischen Rundfunk habe ich eine sehr schöne Reportage gefunden.
Unter dem Titel „Wildes Meer und steile Klippen – Schottlands unbekannte Ostküste“ widmet man sich der Nordseeküste Schottlands zwischen dem Firth of Forth und dem Ort Montrose.

This September 1985 gig at Smokeys nightclub in Arbroath was at such a particular moment in time. Three years on from his previous band's demise, Vince Clarke is billed as 'ex Yazoo'. It was actually Erasure playing, but nobody had really heard of them yet and the were second on the bill. £2 tickets!

Arbroath's excellent Signal Tower Museum, in the old shore station for the Bell Rock Lighthouse beside the entrance to the harbour. The Bell Rock Signal Tower was built in 1813 to service the newly-built lighthouse, 11 miles offshore. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/arbroath/signaltower/index.html
