VIDEO: Weekend of events in Arbroath kick off Tartan Day Scotland Festival

A weekend of special events marking the heritage and culture of Angus attracted crowds of people to Arbroath.

The Homecoming Weekend in Arbroath marked the start of this year’s Tartan Day Scotland Festival.

A re-enactment of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath by the medieval nobles of Scotland took place within the walls of Arbroath Abbey for the first time in several years.

The roles in the signing of the 1320 document, which was a declaration of Scotland’s independence, were performed by Arbroath Abbey Timethemes.

In six years there are plans to mark the 700th anniversary of the signing of this document and a reception on Friday from consuls-general from across the globe, including representatives from Ukraine, Ireland, Norway and Japan, gave details of these plans from the 2020 Group.

There was a busy day at Arbroath Harbour on Saturday, with a traditional fish market and a best-dressed boat competition, won by the RNLI lifeboat, which was decked with bunting for the event.

A group of ‘fishwives’ from the Heritage Arts Auchmithie Residents provided a glimpse into the lives of the 19th century fisher families at the Signal Tower Museum, and Arbroath smokie expert Iain Spink signed copies of his book, the Smokie Bible, at the harbour visitor centre.

At Arbroath Abbey, people had the choice of a graveyard tour by Angus Archives manager Fiona Scharlau or a tour of the abbey by a ‘16th century Benedictine monk’. There was also an evening ghost walk and a display of a medieval encampment.

A massed pipe band parade from Kirk Square to the abbey before the re-enactment of the signing of the Declaration.

A Tayroots family history day, providing information to help people trace their family tree, took place at the Webster Theatre on High Street.
