My wife and I had a brill day out yesterday. We went to South Queensferry and took the fast boat from the pier to Inchcolm Abbey out in the Forth. Then back to South Queensferry for lunch in the bistro there. A brisk 10 minute walk then took us to Dalmeny Station where we got a train for the spectacular trip over the bridge to North Queensferry. We followed the well laid out history trail through the town then walked up to the road bridge. It was early evening and the sun had come out so the walk back over the Forth was wonderful. We were a bit footsore when we got back to the car at Hawes Pier car park. A short drive took us to what might be the best fish and chip shop in Scotland – The Golden Chip in Linlithgow. Superb freshly fried plaice and great chips quickly served by cheery staff – the perfect end to a day out. There are far too many indifferent fish and chip shops but my other favourite fryers are located in Pittenweem, Anstruther, the harbour at Troon and for an English one try Seahouses in Northumberland. What’s your favourite?
