Burtons, Dorothy p's, and some shitty shops like Turrets, ozzy's and a cant forget about the good old charity shops, which are located about every other shop. There use to be here and infinity which sold some decient shite.
• Wots up we oxfam like?
• Mckats, Happit...go to dundee!!!
• I personally like Burtons menswear for shirts - though I am told that I have a bad taste in shirts so you may want to avoid what I buy. Still, I maintain that I wear fashionable things and everyone else just doesn't recognise style. You may also want to go into "The Turret", though I am not a fan because I prefer unusual shirts.
• Can't think of any decent ones....there is an old lady shop on Keptie Street....bad clothes....Damn expensive....not that I look in the windows or anything..
• not a great variety most people go through to dundee but the boys here love ozzies and the girls love turret and the sports shop
• D2, High Street
• that D2 has just opened so I aint been yet so apart from that theres nothin unless you want shirts.ie burtons etc oh and ozzys has turned into some crap skaters shop what a joke
• Skip
• if you want to be a popstar goto Hush just ask sleaze sean if popstars do go there
• too many charity shops!
• hmmmm.....there is that one across from woolies but that sells 'Casual' gear for the 'Casual' 4th year population of arbroath high ( the group who listen to dance, trance and go to under 18's at Flicks-not my thing at all incase you hadn't guessed!)
• what happened to cheetah brothers yes quality goods (the best grey half masties ever)
• H2 HUSH OZZYS , Turret is shite so dont go near it , the staff are all freaks and struggle to spell their own name so avoid it with a barge pole
• Oxfam, Save The Children
• Remeber Youngies, I do unfortunately.
• The usual hoi polloi of Burtons and the like. Lot's of second hand charity type places though if you like that kind of thing. Student paradise, I guess.
• Here but it's too expensive and Turret but the clothes aren't very good.
• This is a plus! Loads and loads of charity shops so with a huge range of 'dead' peoples old clothes!!!

Arts, crafts and such (Anything from pukka art galleries to craft shops. Trendy and twee both welcome.)

• Loch Lorian is one of the only craft shops in Arbroath - it's expensive according to my mum but it's still good. If it isn't, I'm just the messenger here.
• There is a great little craft shop out in Letham....not arbroath I know...but like Letham is going to have a bit on a web site.
• angus college is good for that and if you like going drinking in any park then there will be a great selection of graffitti for all to see and then you can spend your money on a bottle of booze instead of going to that art gallery you always wanted to go to
• There's a great little Fair Trade craft shop at 19 Westport - sells lots of different stuff from all over the world, as well as a few local crafts.
• Kids showing you how to skin up out side safeways

• There's is a new one in the west port next door to Barnardo's (one of the many charity shops in Arbroath) Lochlorian in the high street
• Not that I know of, but then not something I look for. Again ask locals, but don't plan a trip especially looking for this kind of thing.
• Plenty of trendy, crafty, arty, rippy-offy shops where the average touris can spend a fortune on local crap - usually made in Taiwan
• Load's of arty crafty shops but all very boring
• The Signal Tower Musuem is FREE and provides great local information on the fishing industry, well worth visiting

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
