In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Inverbrothock like this:
Inverbrothock, a quoad sacra parish in St Vigeans parish, Forfarshire, on the coast, at the mouth of the Brothock Burn. It comprises the greater part of the suburbs of Arbroath, or northern division of the parliamentary burgh; and, constituted by the ecclesiastical authorities in 1834, reconstituted by the Court of Teinds in 1854, it is in the presbytery of Arbroath and synod of Angus and Mearns. Stipend, £120. The parish church was built as a chapel of ease in 1828 at a cost of £2200, and contains 1224 sittings. Pop. (1871) 7060, (1881) 8094.
The location is the mouth of the Brothock Burn, which in practice is very close to the centre of Arbroath.
