House Removals Arbroath
Founded in the 12th Century, the attractive historic harbour of Arbroath is still in action today. Locals of Arbroath benefit from vast stretches of sandy beaches and stunning views from wild sandstone cliffs.
The most famous export of Arbroath, and loved by many, is the Arbroath Smokie. It was originally created in the village of Auchmithie and is a line-caught haddock, smoke-cured over smouldering oak chips. There are a number of family run smokehouses tucked in around the harbour who still produce delicious Smokies.
