NO 72 58 A programme of watching briefs were undertaken as part of the upgrading of the Montrose and Ferryden waste water network. Four areas were monitored - Montrose Airfield (NO75NW 31), the Infirmary to Ferry Street, Rossie Island and Ferryden. The pipeline from the Infirmary to Ferry Street exposed an old stone pier, probably part of the late 17th or early 18th-century West Quay. A timber structure was also uncovered and is thought to be associated with the old East Quay before it was improved in the late 18th century.
