Arbroath have two main attractions, The ruins of an Abbey and the smokie. An Arbroth Smokie is haddock that has been hot smoked, the smell of these is all round the town.
You can in the second picture the Sea cadets training ship Jedwood berthed behind Watanga. It must have been a spectacle watching that come into the tiny harbour.
The Abbey was closed for a detailed survey, but there was an exhibition. Robert the Bruce and his barons wrote the Declaration of Arbroath in the abbey. This document asserts Scotland as an independant nation.
That was Arbroath, so as soon as the Lock gates opened, we were off up to Stonehaven. A 6 hour slog against the tide only about one hour of which was sailing, lots of lobster pots and thousands of birds.

Let’s hope those onboard TS Jedwood don’t have the same daft haircut as the similarly named pop duo. 😳😂🫣

Moving on, well done. There is also the observation tower to look out to the Bell Rock lighthouse which is an interesting visit.
