The Balmashanner War Memorial was built 1920-1 to a design by architect Thomas R. Soutar to commemorate those fallen in the First World War. Known locally as Boammie, the monument offers fine views over Forfar, the Valley of Strathmore and to the Braes of Angus beyond. Nearby stands an indicator which gives the names and heights to the hills and mountains which can be observed from the 174m (572 feet) on Balmashanner Hill.

Arbroath Abbey was originally founded for the grey-clad monks of the order of Tiron in 1178 by King William the Lion. It was St Thomas of Canterbury's apparent supernatural intervention in the capture of King William at Alnwick in 1174 that prompted him to establish the abbey after his return from imprisonment in Normandy.

The presbytery at the east end was the first part of the building completed in 1214 and it was here that William the Lion was buried 19 years before the final consecration of the abbey in 1233.

William Lamb was a man who gave all to his art. Worldly success and the politics of art interested him not at all. He may be revealed now as one of the few original minds in Scottish art of this century.

The building was William Lamb A.R.S.A.’s studio from 1934 to 1951 and is retained much as it was on his death. It was given to the town on the death of the sculptor, at his specific request, and was opened by the Montrose Town Council as a memorial to Lamb in 1955. The studio then underwent a complete renovation in 1978 by Angus District council.
