NARRATIVE
ON PRINT - After passing through the Den of
St. Vigeans, the Brothock enters the town
of Arbroath at the Wardmill. Even before it
gets there, it has a good deal to do in connection
with sundry manufacturing processes, and from
the Wardmill until it flows into the sea at
Danger Point it is one of the hardest worked
little rivers in the kingdom.
Its banks are thickly studded with spinning-mills
and powerloom factories, and these works it
supplies with the water required for their
steam engines. The buildings on the left-hand
side of the street in the picture are Nether-ward
Works (Messrs. W. Salmond & Sons). (Notes
by George Hay, 1883)
