Grade B
Red sandstone sculptured cliffs, geo’s, caves and arches finish this trip and a classic lighthouse provides the dramatic start. In between there is a spectacular sandy beach along with imposing cliffs, huge caves and birdlife all around. Add to this an abundance of fish shops selling the famous Arbroath Smokie to finish it all off with and you get a recipe for a perfect day out on the east coast.
