Crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside—and always best with a splash of vinegar and a pinch of salt. Today marks National Fish & Chip Day, celebrated across the UK on the first Friday of June, and there’s no better time to honour Scotland’s mighty chippy tradition. From harbourside classics in Anstruther to local legends in Leith, Scots have turned fried fish into a national art form.
Some say the best chippy is the one closest to the sea. Others swear by their hometown shop with its secret batter recipe passed down for decades. Wherever you go, one thing’s certain—Scotland knows how to fry it right. So if you’re lucky enough to be here today, grab a fork (or just your fingers) and get stuck in.

Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital, blends rich history with striking architecture, from the towering Edinburgh Castle to the cobbled streets of the Royal Mile. Visitors can explore medieval Old Town, elegant Georgian New Town, and hike Arthur’s Seat for sweeping city views. Culture thrives at the Writers’ Museum, the National Museum of Scotland, and during the world-famous Festival Fringe. Don’t miss the Palace of Holyroodhouse, a dram of whisky at a local distillery, or a ghost tour through the Old Town’s underground vaults.

Where Locals Go
Scotland isn’t just a place to visit—it’s a place to feel. For Scots, holidays close to home aren’t second-best; they’re the best kind. From misty glens and windswept beaches to lochside villages and lively market towns, Scotland offers something deep and stirring. It’s not just the beauty of the landscapes—it’s the stories that echo through them. The hills hold history, the pubs hold songs, and every castle, coo, and crag has something to say. For those who live here, these places aren’t bucket list items. They’re part of the soul.
