Auchmithie Harbour
Auchmithie Harbour
Auchmithie Harbour is a dilapidated historic harbour nestled at the base of tall red sandstone cliffs on the Angus coast, roughly three miles northeast of Arbroath.
Construction began in 1889 to a design by James Barron, and despite its ruined state a handful of small fishing boats still use it today.
The harbour sits beside a shingle beach below the village, which itself stands approximately 120 feet above on the clifftop.
The site is accessible via the Arbroath to Auchmithie coastal path, a popular five-mile route that passes through Seaton Cliffs Nature Reserve.
Visitors should exercise caution around the base of the cliffs, staying alert to incoming tides and the risk of cliff erosion.
