View of Lunan Bay

Highlight • Beach

This viewpoint is just next to a railway bridge and offers a fantastic vista of Lunan Bay’s scenic surrounding landscape.

Tip by

7.78 km

The small coastal town of Arbroath has a stunning old abbey to visit and is famous for its smokies: delicious smoked haddock that is still prepared like in the 1800s. Just east you can hike along the stunning Cliff Trail with rock formations like The Needle‘s Eye (a rock arch), caves and scenic bays. You can get here by train.

South Esk Bridge and View of Montrose Viaduct

Highlight • Viewpoint

The South Esk bridge carries the A92 into Montrose. It crosses parallel to the railway bridge slightly inland giving great views past this and into the Montrose Basin. Looking the other way out along the river towards the sea you can see the lifeboat station on the northern bank and the industrial fishing harbour.
Running across the bridge is fun and allows you to do a loop of the scenic Scurdie Ness headland from Montrose.
