A bird takes fright as a ScotRail HST heads for Aberdeen. St Vigeans Church is on the right and the trackbed of the former Arbroath and Forfar Railway is in the foreground. The two lines ran south parallel to each other for three quarters of a mile before meeting at St Vigeans Junction north of Arbroath station. This area is liable to flooding and considerable defensive works have been put in place to protect the village. In addition, the closed railway embankment, now a footpath, rather than being removed has been altered with a series of culverts below it to allow passage of water.
