Arbroath.

Arbroath, AngusLike many towns on the eastern coast of Scotland, Angus has a rich heritage of being a fishing port. The town’s most famous product, the Arbroath Smokie, is line-caught smoke-cured haddock that is produced by several family-run smokehouses found around Arbroath Harbour. Unfortunately, the fishing industry has declined here over the past few decades; today, a marina sits within
Arbroath Harbour. The old town centre hugs the coastline for around 600 metres/660 yards to the east, filled with traditional stone-built townhouses and cottages. A few pubs and cafes are dotted close to the shoreline, such as the Old Brewhouse. A large patch of green grass lines the shoreline to the west of the town; here, the Signal Tower Museum can be found. This showcases history relating to the Bell Rock
Lighthouse, which stands next to the shore, and was constructed more than 200 years ago.
Auchmithie, AngusThe small village of Auchmithie is located around 5 km (3 miles) to the town of Arbroath. The village is mainly made up of traditional single-storey cottages perched above a row of sandstone cliffs. A path connects the village with both the stony shore, which arches around a bay flanked by rocky promontories, and a derelict harbour that was once a thriving fishing port. The shoreline provides impressive views of the cliff formations.
Carnoustie, AngusThe small town of Carnousite sits on the coast of Angus, around 16 km/10 miles to the east of the centre of Dundee. The town is known internationally for its large championship golf course, which has held the Open Championship on eight occasions. The course lies directly to the south-west of the town, bordering the scenic waters of Carnoustie Bay. The rest of the sea front is lined by a rather sandy beach, which continues along the coastline all the way to Arbroath. The town itself is a rather relaxed place, and includes a high street flanked by shops and cafes, and quiet residential areas, some of which overlook the beach. Carnoustie is popular with holidaymakers – a selection of guesthouses is on offer, many of which are located in Victorian-built villas and townhouses.
