Formerly the studio of sculptor William Lamb, this museum was paid for by the commission the artist received for his sculptures of Queen Elizabeth II and the Queen Mother.

This is a superb, breathtaking collection of powerful and moving sculptures in wood and stone by little known C20th Montrosian sculptor. Expertly curated by volunteers. Must be seen. Look for summer open times. Nearby is a gem of a local Museum, Montrose Museum, packed with interesting collections and artefacts including a display of taxidermy showing local wildlife and habitats which children adore!

Britain's first operational military air station was established in Montrose by the Royal Flying Corps in 1913. The heritage centre's collection of photographs and artefacts tell the story of RFC/RAF Montrose and the men and women who served here through two world wars. The award-winning heritage centre is an accredited museum run entirely by volunteers and was proud to receive The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service in 2014. COVID-19 precautions - visits must be booked in advance. Please see the museum website for more details.

Giving the current circumstances, we have taken the decision to close Tayside Police Museum until further notice. We look forward to opening our doors once again later in the year. Everyone please stay safe, stay well, and look out for one another.

The only thing I knew about Abroath was that I love Smokies - and visiting thier home we just decided to pop in here ( to avoid the rain to be honest). Welcomed by a friendly enthousiastic volunteer who pointed out the Bell Rock on the horizon - had not even heard of it before....why ? Absolutely loved our trip to this museum, we stayed well over an hour. The film was a fantastic introduction, and the exhibits brought the whole history to life. Have even done a little further research on Rock Lighouses since we returned home - its an utterly fascinating aspect of history I had never previously considered. Added to that the Museum building is a Georgian gem and has an interesting history of its own. Its free - unbelievable !

We were so pleased we visited here. Staff were so helpful and managed to research family connections of generations ago. Can’t thank them enough. Found a good home at Archives for a large framed photo that none of family wanted and was relevant to Angus area.
