is a pleasant sea bathing place, situated on the east coast of the
Gorman Ocean, about 10 miles e. from Dundee, and 7 s. by w. from
Arbroath, and is much resorted to in the summer mouths by visitors
from Dundee and other parts of Scotland, and since the introduc-
tion of a supply of pure water, and a thorough system of drainage,
it is considered one of the best seaside resorts on the east coast.
On the extensive links or downs in the neighbourhood of the village
is a battery, where the naval l-eserve exercise with heavy guns.
The village is well supplied with gas. There are several handsome
villas in and near the village, and many respectable lodging houses ;

village of Muirdrum and Niwton of Panbride, the last being now

bv the Lochty burn. A mile further to the east are the Panbride
B'leach Works, belonging to Mr. J. F. Dickson ; in the northern part
stands the house of Panmure, a seat of the Earl of Dalhousie, with
its extensive enclosures and plantations. The parish is watered by
a streamlet that runs through a valiey called Batties Den, over
which is thrown a high bridge on the turnpike road from Dundee
to Arbroath. The inhabitants are principally engaged in fishing
and agricultural pursuits. The coast is flat and rocky, but has two
