Welcome to Arbroath Scotland
 'A world class
delicacy' - welcome to the home of Arbroath smokies.
The town's most famous product is the Arbroath smokie - line-caught haddock,
smoke-cured over smouldering oak chips, and still made here in a number
of family-run smokehouses tucked in around the harbour. One of the most
approachable and atmospheric is MM Spink's tiny whitewashed premises at
10 Marketgate; chef and cookery writer Rick Stein described the fish here,
warm from the smoke, as 'a world-class delicacy'.
Wander through the huddled cottages of the 'Fit o'the Toon' - the harbour
district where the smell of Arbroath smokies usually hangs heavy in the
air. Beyond it, the seafront road heads into Victoria Park; at the far
end of the road, a path climbs up over the red sandstone cliffs of Whiting
Ness, stretching endlessly onto the horizon and eroded into a multitude
of inlets, caves and arches that warrant hours of leisurely exploration.
The Arbroath Cliffs Nature Trail Guide, free from the tourist office,
picks out 20 good viewing points along the first mile and a half, and
also gives details on the local flora and fauna; you may even see puffins.
