Arbroath harbour

BOTTLE DIGGING GRAY AREA CONFIRMED

Where: Scotland · Europe · approx. 56.56, -2.59 (vicinity only)

Why this spot: 1858 Ordnance Survey town plan era

What turns up: Fishing and mill-town dump: stoneware ginger-beer bottles, aerated-water and soda bottles from Arbroath bottlers, black-glass whisky, ale and porter bottles, Codd and Hamilton sodas, clay pipes and pottery around the old harbour; the smokie-era fishing quarter adds domestic refuse to the foreshore.

Access: Gray area.

Scotland requires all finds reported: any object of any age can belong to the Crown under bona vacantia and Treasure Trove and MUST be reported to the Treasure Trove Unit at the Crown Office, unlike England. The harbour foreshore is Crown Estate Scotland or harbour-authority land, so searching needs permission.
