Arbroath Abbey is maintained by Historic Scotland and is open to visitors - see their website for times and prices. There is quite a lot to see both in a museum exhibit and out in the grounds. Expect to spend a couple of hours here.

Very interesting museum showing the Declaration of Arbroath, signed 1320 which asserted Scotlands independence.
