Arbroath or Aberbrothock is a former royal burgh and the largest town in the council area of Angus in Scotland. Arbroath lies on the North Sea coast, around 16 miles ENE of Dundee and 45 miles SSW of Aberdeen.
While there is evidence for settlement of the area now occupied by the town that dates back to the Iron Age, Arbroath's history as a town begins in the High Middle Ages with the founding of Arbroath Abbey in 1178. Arbroath grew considerably during the Industrial Revolution owing to the expansion of firstly the flax and secondly the jute industries and the engineering sector. A new harbour was built in 1839 and by the 20th century, Arbroath had become one of the larger fishing ports in Scotland.
The town is notable as the home of the Declaration of Arbroath, as well as the Arbroath smokie. The town's football team, Arbroath Football Club, hold the world record for the highest number of goals scored in a professional football match. They won 36–0 against Aberdeen Bon Accord in the Scottish Cup in 1885.
Arbroath is located on the North Sea coast in eastern Scotland 17 miles (27 km) northeast of Dundee, within the Angus region. Geologically, Arbroath sits predominantly on Old Red Sandstone. Lower-lying parts of the town were below sea level during and immediately after the last ice age.
Arbroath is located 98 miles (158 km) northeast of Glasgow, 50 miles (80 km) southwest of Aberdeen and 77 miles (124 km) from Edinburgh. The neighbouring villages of St Vigeans, Carmyllie, Friockheim, Colliston and Inverkeilor are considered part of Arbroath for the purposes of council representation, and together with Carnoustie, share the 01241 telephone area code with Arbroath.
Tourism plays some part in the Arbroath economy, with Arbroath Abbey attracting over 14,000 visitors each year. Attractions during the summer months include the Seafront Spectacular, which includes an airshow, and the Seafest which is themed around Arbroath's maritime heritage. There is also a re-enactment of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath
Arbroath is home to Kerr's Miniature Railway, the oldest miniature railway in Scotland, which has been operating since 1935 and which at its height, in 1955, saw 60,000 visitors. The town also features a multimillion-pound Harbour Visitor Centre, located close to the Town Quay.
The A92 road connects Arbroath to Dundee and Fife to the south west, and Stonehaven in the north east. Arbroath has a modest public bus transport system, with the Arbroath Bus Station serving as the town's main terminus.

5 Scottish Estates YOU Can Check Out
Scotland's storybook countryside is decorated with some of Great Britain's most elegant estates...and many are open to the public. To get some of that Downton Abbey feeling yourself, head out into the Scottish Borders to see how the aristocracy lived, worked, and played.
There's no need to bring tux and tails or worry about dungeon imprisonment. Nowadays, that dungeon is more likely a restaurant and the falconry is only for demonstration purposes. And the dress code? Not so much. Instead of a dinner jacket, pack your hiking boots and mountain bike, because the grounds of these sprawling estates are open to trekkers and nature lovers.
This video visits five Scottish estates that travelers to Scotland can check out:
* Floors Castle
* Bowhill House
* Abbotsford House
* Jedburgh Abbey
* Dalhousie House
Let's go where the air is cleaner and the views are endless: The Scottish Borders.
