Scotland's best fish and chips crowned as Edinburgh restaurant tops list
Scotland's best fish and chip eateries have been named. The "standout" restaurants are situated all around the country.
While National Fish and Chip Day may have already taken place on June 6, summer is the best time of the year to enjoy a fresh fish supper with delicious chunky chips. With the season only just beginning, experts have shared their picks for the top fish and chip restaurants around Scotland.
On Thursday, June 5, Larder Magazine shared a list of "where to find the best" fish and chips in the country. A total of six restaurants are featured on the roundup.
Coming in at number one on the list is Landy's Fish and Chips in Edinburgh. The restaurant is located on North Bridge in the heart of the Scottish capital.
Landy's Fish and Chips is a restaurant and bar that describes itself as "Scotland's favourite chip shop" on its website. The venue was praised by Larder Magazine for its crispy batter and flaky fish, as well as its "generous portions and thoughtful touches like homemade tartare sauce".
As reported by the Daily Record, Landy's Fish and Chips was named one of our "10 best fish and chip shops for a summer 2025 takeaway". We praised the eatery for its "modern and chic" interiors and "top-notch" food.
Meanwhile, coming in at number two on Larder Magazine's roundup is Dune in St Andrews. The Fife town is home to a number of different chippies, but Dune was singled out for its varied menu.
The magazine praised the restaurant's Market Fish and Chips dish in particular, describing it as "the catch of the day beautifully battered and served with seaweed tartare, curry sauce, peas and triple-cooked chips".
Placing third on the roundup is Bertie's Proper Fish & Chips, also situated in Edinburgh. The family-friendly restaurant serves sustainably sourced fish, crispy golden chips, and a variety of Scottish-inspired sides and sauces.
Larder Magazine applauded Bertie's Proper Fish & Chips for its battered haddock. The restaurant was also described as a top destination for locals and tourists alike.
Elsewhere, The Jigger Inn in St Andrews comes in at number four on the magazine's list. The Jigger Inn, which is housed in a building dating back to the 1850s, serves up home-cooked food and a wide selection of Scottish beers.
The inn earned praise for its one-of-a-kind location by the 17th hole of St Andrews' iconic Old Course. Meanwhile, its fish and chips was described as unique thanks to the batter made with The Jigger Inn's 'Jigger Ale'.
Rounding out the list are The Grahamston in Glasgow and the Ochils Arms in Dollar, placing fifth and sixth respectively. Larder Magazine applauded The Grahamston for its modern flair and fish batter, while the Ochils Arms was singled out for its fresh haddock and relaxed atmosphere.

Scotland's airports ranked as Edinburgh and Glasgow miss out on top spot
Five of the country's top airports have been listed from worst to best. Scotland's major airports have been ranked from best to worst. Coming in at number one on the list is one of the country's smallest international airports. On Wednesday, August 13, The Telegraph shared a list of "Britain's 30 biggest airports ranked from worst to best". In the roundup, five Scottish airports are named. Coming in at number one for Scotland on The Telegraph's roundup is Inverness Airport. The airport is situated at Dalcross, around eight miles out of the Capital of the Highlands. The Telegraph assigned Inverness Airport an overall score of 817 based on almost 40 metrics. Among these are: number of destinations served; distance to the city centre; on-time percentage; cancellation percentage; performance in the annual Which? UK airports survey; and the average Google review score. According to the newspaper, Inverness Airport earned high scores due to its lack of a drop-off fee, unlimited free Wi-Fi, and parking prices that are "the fourth cheapest on the British mainland". It was also noted for its overall Google review rating of 4.1 out of five and its title of the 'Best Airport in Europe with less than two million passengers', according to the Airports Council International. The Telegraph wrote: "Pitched in a spectacular location on the edge of the Moray Firth, Inverness has perfected the equation for smallness and simplicity. It welcomed just short of 800,000 passengers in 2024; the only airport in this top 10 not to break the million-mark. "Yes, it has year-round flights to just one other country (the Netherlands), but with a solid cancellation rate (1.8 per cent; 39 points), there is a good chance that you will actually land in Amsterdam. Smallness also translates into amenities that bigger airports do not tend to provide." Following in second place for Scotland on The Telegraph's list is Aberdeen International Airport. The airport, which can be found in the Dyce suburb of Aberdeen, received an overall score of 816. Aberdeen International Airport has around 2.3 annual passengers and a cancellation rate of 2.71 per cent according to the newspaper. Meanwhile, 75.1 per cent of flights at the airport were found to be on time and its average Google review score is 3.6 out of five. The newspaper wrote: "An impressive 75 per cent of Aberdeen's flights were on time in 2024 (66 points), the fifth best statistic overall—even if its ratio of cancelled flights in the same period (1,646 in total, at a rate of 2.7 per cent) was less laudable. It also loses ground in lacking a rail link to the city centre (a 15-point penalty). "But if you are going to find yourself stranded at a British airport, Aberdeen would be a good 'choice'; it can boast seven four-star hotels within a two-mile radius (26 points), and the cheapest room rate of any British airport within that bracket (£55; 30 points)." In third place on The Telegraph's roundup is Edinburgh Airport, earning an overall score of 780. The biggest airport in Scotland, it serves around 15.7 million passengers per year. Rounding out the top five for Scotland on the newspaper's roundup are Glasgow Airport and Glasgow Prestwick, in fourth and fifth place respectively. The former received a score of 758, while the latter earned a score of 623. The full list of Britain's 30 biggest airports ranked from worst to best can be found on The Telegraph website.

Land once home to Braemar Lodge up for auction with starting price of just £1
The land upon which the Braemar Lodge once stood is to go up for auction with the eye-catching starting price of just £1. A serious fire ravaged the historic hotel in March 2022, leaving the remaining structure in a perilous state. Many locals had hoped the building could be restored, but the owners made the decision to demolish it due to safety concerns. That proved controversial as it emerged that proper authorisation for knocking down a listed building had not sought during the process. Braemar residents, meanwhile, said a 'lunar landscape' had been left and claimed water run-off could go into neighbouring gardens. Councillors eventually voted retrospectively in favour of approving the demolition. And now the land where the once popular hotel stood is going to auction as a new owner and a new use is sought. It is being offered with a rock-bottom starting price that's guaranteed to draw eyes – at just £1 – though bidding is likely to swiftly increase. The site is not only historically significant, also a prime piece of land, measuring more than 1,000 square metres in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. Currently a blank canvas, the sellers say it represents a strong development opportunity for potential buyers. The plot is within five minutes' walk of Braemar Mountain Sports and within easy walking distance of Mar Lodge Estate. Prime Property Auctions director John Morris said: 'This remarkable property is now being offered with opening bids from just £1. 'This offers savvy investors and visionaries a golden chance to own a slice of Highland heritage. 'The property is being offered at a fantastic discount to ensure a sale and should appeal to anyone looking for a straightforward purchase with excellent upside potential. 'This isn't just a piece of land – it's a front-row seat to Scottish tradition, royal heritage and exceptional natural beauty. 'To launch a site of this calibre with a starting bid of just £1 is bold. 'It will no doubt capture the imagination of bidders across the UK and beyond.' The live auction takes place on Thursday August 21, with bids accepted from 10.30am-4.30pm.
