Arbroath has a population of around 24,000 people (2021 census), and its ruined abbey is where Scottish nobles once made one of the boldest political statements in the country's history.
The abbey behind the Declaration of Arbroath
In 1320, a group of Scottish nobles gathered at Arbroath Abbey to seal a letter to Pope John XXII, asserting Scotland's independence and its right to resist English rule under Robert the Bruce. Known as the Declaration of Arbroath, it's still cited today as an early statement of national sovereignty. The town is also known for the Arbroath smokie, a smoked haddock recipe with protected geographical status.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Arbroath shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is more consistent than relying on what's on a local shelf — many Arbroath shoppers would otherwise have to travel to Dundee for a wider selection.
