Old Photographs Of Arbroath Scotland

Tour Scotland video of old photographs of Arbroath. Arbroath is located on the North Sea coast, around 16 miles Eest North East of Dundee and 45 miles South South West of Aberdeen. 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.

No think it has been a few years that the donkey rides has been gone and Kerrs miniature railway was sold and left the town about 3 years now. Was a sad day for Arbroath when that happened

@@lesliethomson I used to go to the Red Lion Caravan Park for holidays when I was a wee girl, loved going cross the road to see the donkeys, pony & cart, the train & miniature bus too. Yes.. very sad to hear they're gone.
