Hornblower's at Gourdon. Fantastic setting just on the pier at the harbour. Fresh fish landed on their doorstep. Absolutely amazing fish and chips, and fun by a lovely couple. Lots of other innovative seafood available too. Don't miss trying it if you are in the area (just off A92, south of Stonehaven). Mmmmmmmmm! Mouth watering already!!

I suppose there had to be something good in Shotts!

But please note, there's a difference between fresh, and fresh cooked!

All these hygiene standards do contribute to poor health nowadays to some extent. It's claimed that not being exposed to as much bacteria etc we don't carry the same antibodies as in the past. Wether that's true or not is like everything else.. . Debatable
