Arbroath in the Motorhome

[Fatmrsgeorge]

You can't beat the east coast. Arbroath. Bank Holiday Weekend and we have the beach to ourselves. Room for free overnight

parking at the front in designated area. EXCELLENT site at Elliots for 20 quid a night (showers 2 quid) Great museum. The Abbey, complete with the Declaration. Harbour . Wonderful walks. Smokies.
Scurries the size of eagles.
Also the dandy Dons won the Scottish Cup. Go on the real North East !

Favourite spot of ours as well, parked up right on the seafront for free. We have a drink or two at the Old Boatyard restaurant, most folk are inside while we are sheltered from the wind sitting outside facing south of an afternoon and it's frequently sunny. It is normally our first holiday night after visiting relatives in the central belt so chill time and a great starting point for heading to the North East. Best strawberries and rasps available in June/July and butteries along with the smokies. Happy days.

Love it there, had many a great night spent there. The fish bites at the Bass Rock are great as well. Last time we were there it was good to see the long term guy had moved on as previously his Motorhome and all his junk around it was giving us motorhomers a bad reputation. I hear he has sold his motorhome which is great news.

Takes me back to the 70s when I was stationed there. Haven't been there since.

Probably worth a return just for the smokies.

Last time we visited Arbroath about 7or 8 years ago the mist/fog was so bad we couldn’t even see the water so we moved on, shame.

Daft question - what’s a smokies?

 

[Nirvanauk]

Basically smoked haddock that have been gutted. They can only be called Arbroath smokies if produced within 5 miles of Arbroath.

Different story today! Place is like a gypsy camp unfortunately. Easily 100 vans along the seafront. Squeezed up on to the kerb and just pleasing themselves parking anywhere on the grass.

Dunno why I thought it might be quiet but it wasn't so I've moved down to Morton Loch. Tenner a night keeps the riff raff away
