or ARBROATH, one of the royal boroughs of Scotland, situated in the county of Angus, about 40 miles N. N. E. of Edinburgh, in W. Long. 2. 29. and N. Lat. 56. 36. It is seated on the discharge of the little river Brothick into the sea, as the name imports, Aber in the British implying such a situation. It is a small but flourishing place, well built, and still increasing. The town has been in an improving state for the last forty years, and the number of inhabitants greatly augmented; which is owing to the introduction of manufactures. The population in 1801 was above 7000. The inhabitants consist chiefly of weavers of coarse brown linens, and Aberconway, Abercromby.
