Very interesting museum showing the Declaration of Arbroath, signed 1320 which asserted Scotlands independence.

This is the cycleway on the coastal front, full tarmac, nice and wide allowing dog walkers and cyclists enough room to pass through. Looking east towards Arbroath. I found Arbroath to be a pleasant, tranquil, friendly place. Locals willing to stop and chat

Arbroath Abbey is maintained by Historic Scotland and is open to visitors - see their website for times and prices. There is quite a lot to see both in a museum exhibit and out in the grounds. Expect to spend a couple of hours here.
