Angus Council has installed warning signs at a crumbling path on a cliff that has been the scene of numerous rescue operations and the death of an 11-year-old girl.
Contract workers set up the new permanent display boards at Seaton Cliffs in Arbroath.
Last month the area was targeted by vandals, who ripped down some of the signs, in addition to smashing sections of the wooden fencing that leads down to the beach.
Nine signs, made of plastic-coated material on aluminium composition plate, have been mounted on timber posts at a cost of around £500, replacing the temporary signs that had been in use.
Additional fencing will be put up over the next few days to prevent access.
Stretches of coastal path running from Victoria Park in Arbroath to Auchmithie were shut on safety grounds on March 18 after a landslip caused a large section of earth to fall to the shoreline.
At that time the council said it would be assessing the situation.
Parts of the path were reopened in May, but some areas remain closed.
Landowner, the Scottish Wildlife Trust, is working with the council to ensure the route is reopened as quickly as possible.
As well as a short-term fix, more permanent remedial measures and possible realignment of the coastal path are being considered.
Following the death of a local girl, five warning signs were put up in 2005-at the start of the cliff path at the Ness, at East Seaton Farm, at Dickmont’s Den, at the old school, Auchmithie, and the entrance path to Seaton Den.
Arbroath 2000+ provided £267.50 towards the project, and the William Coull Anderson Trust donated £400.
Seaton Cliffs have been used as a venue for Tayside Biodiversity Festival. During the event, participants were taken along the Angus Coastal path and given an insight into the 400-million-year history of the sandstone cliffs.
