About

Arbroath East and Lunan is a coastal ward characterised by its mix of agricultural land and residential development. The area extends inland from the North Sea cliffs, encompassing the eastern suburbs of Arbroath and the fertile farmlands around the Lunan Water river valley. This creates a distinct transition from urban housing to open fields used primarily for arable farming.

A notable landmark is the Red Castle ruins overlooking Lunan Bay, a site with a long history. The coastline here includes the tidal expanse of Lunan Bay itself and the rocky promontory of Auchmithie. The local economy is supported by fishing, with Arbroath Harbour remaining an active port, alongside traditional agriculture and newer commuter housing.
