Embark on the Abbey to Lifeboat: Arbroath's Historic Echoes Tour

Smoke once thundered from the stacks of Arbroath’s ancient abbey while secrets brewed on windswept cliffs and football loyalties clashed along the North Sea.

Follow twisting lanes where monks defied monarchs, tides swallowed legends, and everyday locals became unlikely heroes. Move from echoing ruins to roaring crowds, discovering hidden dramas in every stone and whistle. Uncover forgotten rebellions, scandalous plots, and bizarre triumphs as you see Arbroath’s past come to life beneath your feet.

Press play now and let Arbroath reveal what’s been waiting in its shadows all along.
