About Arbroath - show infohide info
Arbroath, (Aberbrothock, or Scottish Gaelic: Obair Bhrothaig) is an ancient port dating back to Pictish times. In 1174 the founding of the Abbey began the recorded history of the town. The name Aberbrothock means 'mouth of the Brothock Burn'? and has since evolved into the modern name, Arbroath. The Burn is significant in the development of the town as it provided the power for the flax mills which were built along its banks. Arbroath is the largest town in Scotland's county of Angus, and lies on the North Sea coast. Arbroath has gained international recognition for its statement of Scottish independence; the Declaration of Arbroath. On 6th April 1320 the Declaration of Scottish Independence was signed at Arbroath Abbey. A pageant re-enacting the signing was held within the ruins of the Abbey in 1947 and was held at two year intervals well into the 60`s. In the 80`s the re-enactment was briefly revived, and currently a committee has been formed to explore the feasibility of a repeat performance. Arbroath's ancient ruined abbey is central to the story of the declaration and remains a key Scottish tourist attraction today. The town is also widely famed for Arbroath Smokies. Made using traditional methods dating back to the late 1800's, haddock are first salted overnight to preserve them, before being left tied in pairs to drooth (dry). Next, the dried fish are hung in a special barrel containing a hardwood fire and covered with a lid until smoked to perfection.
