Arbroath fishing trip, Scotland

Popis

Arbroath (scottish gaelic: Obair Bhrothaig) is a town in Angus area in Scotland. Occupied since ca Neolithic period. The area appears to have been of some importance in the early Christian period, as evidenced by the Pictish Drosten Stone from 9th century. We took a boat trip to Bell Rock lighthouse - the world's oldest surviving sea-washed lighthouse, built on Bell Rock in the North Sea, 18 km off the coast. According to legend, the rock name is from 14th century when the abbot from Arbroath installed a warning bell on it. The bell lasted only one year until it was removed by a Dutch pirate. The rock was the scene of many shipwrecks as it lies just below the surface of the sea. Greetings to my Scottish colleagues and one special to Australia&New Zealand ;-)
