Arbroath Smokies

Its hard to beat the smell of fish being smoked in the traditional smoke houses which can still be found dotted around the foot of the town. Whilst wandering around the harbour today the smell was pervasive. The evocative smell reminded me of the many nights I spend walking around this area as a rookie beat officer. I cant pretend it was always such as pleasure as it was today but it was indoubtedly a memorable period of my career and life.
