Notes

The SCAN gazetteer described this parish as resulting from a merger between Arbroath and St. Vigeans in 1919, but it is listed as a single unit in the 1911 Census of Population. Further Table 3 of volume I in 1911 has a footnote which says the two parishes of Arbroath and St Vigeans were united in 1895.

This unit was part of the following units:

Name Type Start End Authority
ANGUS Scottish County 1895 1975 1951 Census of Scotland, Table 1, 'Comparison of population, density per 100 acres, and houses with 1931', for 'Burghs, Districts of Counties and CPs'.

This unit was affected by the following changes:

Date Type of change Other unit involved Area transferred Authority
1895 was created through the abolition of ARBROATH   Great Britain Historical GIS Project
1895 was created through the abolition of ST VIGEANS   Great Britain Historical GIS Project
