EspañolAUCHMITHIE
'Auchmithie' is a fishing village in Angus, Scotland, three miles north east of the town of Arbroath. It sits atop a red sandstone cliff, approximately 120 feet above a shingle beach which contains an unusual amount of jasper.
In the dilapidated harbour, built in 1891, there are still some small fishing boats.
The "Arbroath Smokie" (haddock hot smoked in a particular way) originated in 'Auchmithie'.
Sir Walter Scott stayed in the Waverley Hotel in Auchmithie and described Auchmithie in his novel The Antiquary (1816), under the name 'Musslecrag'.
