Arbroath is the largest town in Angus, with a population of approximately 23,000. Arbroath Abbey, built in 1178, is where, in 1320, the Declaration of Scottish Independence was signed, outlining the desire of the Scottish people for self-determination. Arbroath's harbour remains a focal point for the town's residents. At the harbour, the scent of Arbroath's famous delicacy, the Smokie, wafts from the surrounding smokehouses. The modern economy depends on engineering, oil-related industries, fishing, boat building and the manufacture of metal products and textiles. Arbroath also has a long-established reputation as a holiday resort. The Arbroath estate agents have a good selection of property for sale, including terraced houses, maisonettes, flats in purpose built blocks, Victorian stone built cottages and new developments of townhouses and apartments.
