Hiking Highlight
Recommended by 13 hikers
The small coastal town of Arbroath has a stunning old abbey to visit and is famous for its smokies: delicious smoked haddock that is still prepared like in the 1800s. Just east you can hike along the stunning Cliff Trail with rock formations like The Needle‘s Eye (a rock arch), caves and scenic bays. You can get here by train.

It was within this historic town’s superb abbey that Scotland’s nobles declared their independence in 1320. Fine working harbour, excellent pubs to celebrate your arrival (try The Old Brewhouse or The Smugglers) and superb cliffs to the north with natural arches and stacks. Hourly bus or rail to Montrose.
