I'm an Arbroath lad. No war history to tell you of, but I do know that Arbroath FC's stadium is closer to the sea than any other stadium in Europe. Also, their story last year was even more impressive as they nearly won it and were the only part time club in the league. Pretty special stuff really.

Used to stay at the Red Lion caravan park as a kid, and loved the outdoor Swimming pool. Great fish and chips back in the day. Kerrs railway was great, had a turntable at the end, they also had the miniature Blubird buses, you could ride on. My uncle had a summer job driving them.

The waste land is where the Seaforth Hotel stood, i worked there in the 70s. The Signal Tower is a museum now, it was originally built for lighthouse keepers families.

Just up from where you were at the start there are the remains of the old bathing shelter and there’s quite a lot of tank traps further up on the East Haven beach path .

Used to stay at the Red Lion caravan site when I was a bairn. In addition to the miniature railway, there were wee buses that the kids would sit on and a boy would drive up and down the promenade bit. They were like replicas of the old Strathtay Scottish single deckers I'm sure.

Local here, Dragons teeth, far side of Elliot beach towards East Haven. Not much else really in evidence. There was a brick bunker in a field just South, visible from the Dundee train, I'm not sure if it's still there. Some painted signs, possibly still visible, according to a recent local conversation, indicating the nearest public air raid shelters. The Water Tower, not accessible, was an observation point, for the Observer Corp. From the Cold War era there's the nuclear bunker, now a private museum, with limited opening times. Nothing else immediately obvious... The harbour defences someone mentioned aren't, they're concrete pylons from a small guage railway line for materials, and men, when the breakwater was built, or had major repair work. PS not so small, still the largest town in Angus, and AFC was founded in 1878

You can get to it from the road up the top. The old rail bridge is directly above the waterfall. You will see the trail on the right hand side of the bridge looking down. A big bit of the wall has fallen through as to where you cross over. Good luck for the next one chief 😎

The sunniest town in Britain btw , officially. Just not the warmest I had family who stayed there. Otherwise known as Wee Glesga Also that minature railway tunnel. I was so ekkied one night I couldnt go to the caravan. Slept in there instead. Any Arbroath folk readin this remember John Ellis ? Or know Amanda or Andy Mclean ? Also. Arbroath FC historically have scored the most goals in a game. 36/37 - 0 - vs Bon Accord ( Aberdeen )

Nope, concrete pylons from a narrow guage railway used during the construction/major repair work, of the breakwater; used to transport materials, and men
