Arbroath's annual Seafest is supposed to celebrate its maritime economy. But thanks to North Sea fishing quotas, the town of 20,000 on Scotland's rugged east coast has very little maritime industry left to celebrate. Arbroath's once-bustling port saw the final boat of its erstwhile fleet of 37 fishing vessels sold earlier this year, and the headquarters of the Arbroath Fishermen's Association will shortly be turned into apartments.

In the end, the project appeared to have garnered a tacit approval, because by the final day, it had become clear that no one in the neighborhood was going to disturb the completion of the giant three-panel work. (One worry was that the trash would be cleaned up overnight...
