SITUATION The land at Firthmuir Farm is situated just inland from Arbroath and to the west of the A933 (Arbroath to Brechin road). It lies immediately adjacent to the Arbroath to Letham road. It is therefore easily accessible and it enjoys an enviable position, close to the coast and in the heart of a prime agricultural area. This part of Angus is renowned for its high quality and fertile agricultural land.
Being close to the A933 the area is well served with good communications. The A92 dual carriageway links Arbroath to Dundee. Arbroath has a wide range of business, leisure and shopping facilities. There is a primary school in the nearby village of Colliston. Forfar, the county town, is easily reached and has a mart. There is an active local machinery ring.
DESCRIPTION The land at Firthmuir Farm extends to some 29.53 acres/11.95 ha. It comprises one field which is currently let under the terms of a seasonal arrangement for the growing of swedes. The land is classified by the James Hutton Institute as Class 3(1), and as such is capable of growing a wide range of crops. It lies at a height of 80 m (260’) above sea level.
