Known for
The Declaration of Arbroath (1320), the Arbroath smokie (PGI smoked haddock), the Abbey ruins, and an Angus fishing town of real historical weight
A little history
Arbroath Abbey was founded in 1178. The Declaration of Arbroath — asserting Scottish independence — was signed here in 1320. The smokie tradition has made the town internationally famous.
The Arbroath smokie is genuinely world-class — buy directly from the smoke houses on the harbour. The Abbey ruins are extraordinary.
