Full Description
Historic core of the town of Montrose. Montrose was made a royal burgh by David I by the mid 12th Century AD, but its origins as a settlement are likely much earlier. Its medieval layout, at the core of the town, can still be seen. Early exports were skins, hides and cured salmon. The harbour is at the heart of Montrose's fortunes, and as trade and fishing increased throughout the 17th - 19th century so the town developed and expanded.
