AUCHMITHIE, in Angus. Scotland.
Auchmithie is a former fishing village in Angus, Scotland, three miles north east of the town of Arbroath. It sits atop a cliff of red sandstone conglomerate of Devonian date, approximately 120 feet above a shingle beach.
Auchmithie is a small village on the coast of Angus some three miles north east of Arbroath. The village itself stands above 120ft cliffs, while below then is a pebble beach, an old and partly derelict harbour, and some fascinating rock architecture.
Most of the present village stands on one street. At its south west end you find The St Peter's Church and the Village Hall.
The road then passes the village pub, the But 'n Ben and between rows of mainly single storey cottages. The village car park is on the left just before you reach the pub. You can drive through the village, but the road is a cul de sac, so at the far end you simply have to turn round and drive back.
Until a very recent landslide you could drive down slowly. There are also steps down from in the village, but the road and steps were made unsfe by that land slip, so care had to be taken descending and ascending the steps down to the beach and harbour.
This was in July 2018 so it may even have been put right by now but CHECK before going there.
Auchmithie was once a thriving fishing harbour, which in the early 1800s had a population of some 400. The harbour was home to 12 white fish boats, 6 large herring boats, and around 20 small boats fishing for lobsters and crabs. Auchmithie was also where the Arbroath Smokie was first produced.
