    Auchmithie is a village perched on a cliff a few miles north of Arbroath. Some would say that it's the original home of the famed "Arbroath Smokie", and indeed for a long time it had a much bigger fishing fleet than its southern neighbour. But its harbour, at the foot of the cliffs was possibly less attractive than that available in Arbroath and during the 19th century, much of its fleet moved away.

    The village is a quiet spot today with the harbour only home to a few small vessels

    Of passing note is that fact that it figures in Scott's "The Antiquary", where it is called "Musselcrag".

    There is a rather nice seafood restaurant in the village which is worth a visit.

    Traducción:
    Auchmittie es un pueblo colgado en un acantilado a unas pocas millas de Arbroath.Algunos dirían que es el lugar originario del afamado "Ahumado de Arbroath", y en efecto, durante mucho tiempo tuvo una flota pesquera mucho mayor que su vecino del sur.Pero su puerto, al pie de los acantilados era seguramente menos atractivo que el que había en Arbroath y durante el siglo XIX gran parte de su flota se trasladó a otros lugares.

    El pueblo hoy en día es un lugar traquilo cuyo puerto sólo alberga unas pocas embarcaciones.
    Otro aspecto que puede comentarse de paso es el hecho de que figura en la obra de Scott "El anticuario", donde se le llama "Musselcrag"

    The light, the swing, so modern.

    Remarkably short skirt for the era. Perhaps as a working (fisher?) woman she needed to keep her skirts dry.

    It's funny seeing the name "Liston" here. When I was a boy in Musselburgh in the 1960's, I had a classmate, Kate Liston, who belonged to a traditional Newhaven/Granton fishing family. This chap must be an ancestor of some sort !
