The Old Brewhouse is situated in the historic town of Arbroath, 54 miles south of Aberdeen and around 17 miles north of Dundee. Arbroath has a strong connection to the fishing industry and is well known for their speciality dish 'Arbroath Smokie'. The town has a population of around 24,000 and is very popular with tourists due to the nearby landmarks such as Arbroath Abbey, which was founded in the 12th Century, and is renowned for its red sandstone ruins. There are several beaches which are especially popular during the summer months. The local train station is located within the heart of the town and forms part of the Dundee to Aberdeen line.
