Signal tower museum, Arbroath Built in 1813 as a communications tower for the bell Rock lighthouse which stands some 9 miles offshore. The work of Robert Stevenson. This reminds me of similar structures on the islands of Erraid and Tiree, all works of the Stevenson family.

Westhaven memorial by the harbour The Westhaven was an Arbroath fishing boat that was lost at sea on 10th March 1997 with the loss of four crew. The circumstances were not associated with bad weather, but because fishing gear had become trapped in an underwater obstacle [a pipeline] and the boat capsized.
