The town and abbey of Arbroath belonged to the parish till about the year 1560. The main body is divided south-south-eastward into nearly equal parts by the rivulet Brothock. The coast for 3½ miles in extent is flat with a sandy beach for about a mile from Arbroath and thence it rises abruptly becomes bold and rocky and has a mean height of about 100 feet. The interior rises very slowly to Dickmountlaw, slopes gently thence to the Brothock and then rises with scarcely perceptible gradient towards inconsiderable heights on the western boundary. The general surface may be regarded as proximately level with a few gentle elevations. The soil is various but on the whole fertile. The parish includes a part of the town of Arbroath which had been some years ago erected into a Quoad Sacra parish. The rocky part of the coast is deeply perforated by several remarkable caves. The parish is in the presbytery of Arbroath and Synod of Angus and Mearns. Patron the Crown. There are no other detached portions of this parish but those already mentioned and there are no detached portion of any parish within that of St. Vigeans. |
