Foremans Cottage is a stylish and sophisticated retreat on Lunan Bay Beach. It has been featured in many glossies and with its 3 bedrooms, one with ensuite roll top, drench showers, and open fireplaces and log burner, it is ideal for a romantic break, families and a get away from it all break. The beach at Lunan is idyllic all year round.

Great for walks. For a long stretch along the beach, a quick walk with the dog or just a wee stop off to have picnic and relax. The area is lovely and very large so there can be many visitors and you can still be far away from the nearest person. 100% worth a visit.

Signal Tower Museum

Reviewed By grayfam - Edinburgh, United Kingdom

The only thing I knew about Abroath was that I love Smokies - and visiting thier home we just decided to pop in here ( to avoid the rain to be honest). Welcomed by a friendly enthousiastic volunteer who pointed out the Bell Rock on the horizon - had not even heard of it before....why ? Absolutely loved our trip to this museum, we stayed well over an hour. The film was a fantastic introduction, and the exhibits brought the whole history to life. Have even done a little further research on Rock Lighouses since we returned home - its an utterly fascinating aspect of history I had never previously considered. Added to that the Museum building is a Georgian gem and has an interesting history of its own. Its free - unbelievable !
