Worth the Detour
Biggar is 30 miles South of Edinburgh, on the A702 route to/from Dumfries, the Lake District, and the South.
This fish and chip emporiumh as been outstanding for 20 years or more—it was The Golden Fry and is now Peters. Still as good as ever!
Simple: fresh fish, cooked to order. Crispy batter, all the usual accompaniments, plush a wedge of a fresh lemon.
I haven't found anything in Edinburgh that can consistently match this—but please add your recommendations (or check out these from the Scotsman and give your report) as comments below. I'll try them and see. `for what its worth, I have tried the Townhead Cafe in Biggar, and I still prefer Peters, by a whisker.
Cleaning up
Biggar also has one of the best public conveniences in the country. So you can clean up in style.
