The surface towards the bay is flat, rising rapidly from the plain and river towards the North; the soil in the higher parts is shallow and wet, from lying upon a bed of muirstone rock; the lower grounds are deep and fertile, except close to the sea, where it is sandy. It is distant seven miles from Arbroath, and five and a half from Montrose."
