The Arbroath East and Lunan ward covers the eastern side of the town of Arbroath and the nearby coastal and rural stretch that includes Lunan Bay and small villages such as Auchmithie. The landscape mixes sandy beaches and dunes, red sandstone cliffs and farmland, making it popular for coastal walks, birdwatching and summer visitors drawn to the quieter side of the Angus coast.
Locally the economy blends maritime and agricultural traditions - small-scale fishing and the famous Arbroath smokie sit alongside farms, tourism and town services - while the area’s history links into the wider story of Arbroath, with its 13th-century abbey and the 1320 Declaration of Arbroath giving the town national historic significance. Community life ranges from tight-knit fishing villages to suburban neighbourhoods, supported by local clubs, halls and coastal events.
