Peggy Scott’s is a Services stop, an hour shy of the Aberdeen Ferry Terminals. We stopped here and were very pleasantly surprised at how much variety they have.
We all had dinner here, and I even got a choice of vegan options. Ultimately got a toastie with extra mushrooms and tomatoes. Undecided about the white or brown option, I asked for one slice of each and the super awesome chef delivered!! My toastie came with the yummiest healthy salad with bits of red and yellow bell peppers, in finely shredded cos lettuce with cherry tomatoes conveniently halved. Also yummy chips which I ate with malt vinegar and tomatoe ketchup.
They brew a great cup of black tea, and I drank two cups. Took some for the road in my flask.
The others had chicken toastie and the freshest generous size of battered fish, (choice of breaded available) with chips and salad. Sodas available. Choice of dressings are self serve, as are the sodas.
They also have great ice cream. Our party sampled oatmeal, honey and whisky ice cream (hey, you are in Scotland!) and chocolate. From the ooh’s and aah’s of the diners, they were both very good.
The hosts are lovely! It was nearing the closing time of 5:00 pm and we did not feel rushed. Last minute purchases were cheerfully accommodated.
We also purchased locally sourced honey, homemade brown bread, local whole milk, scones and some other foods to take on the boat.
Oh, and the cleanest of toilets, well equipped and 5 or 6 in the Women’s bathrooms, with equal number of sinks.
If you decide to stop here, you won’t be disappointed. Actually, if you’re craving a bite, your stomach...

Read moreWe arrived after a long journey and decided to stop at Peggy Scott's. It has a nice little shop with the usual tourist items, along with other food and beverage items that you may wish for your onward journey.
The restaurant!.. It's okay but it could do with a lick of paint. The menu board is large enough and offers set meals to save time if your in a hurry. One of the meals that two of us had was the Scottish Breakfast. So I was looking for blackpudding and loin sausage to be part of the meal. But they weren't!. The sausages offered were not nice and as my brother in-law did not want certain items, decided to swap for an egg. Being four of us we were shocked that I was missed off the order. Also we got a shock when we were charged £3 for an extra egg. I'm sure it was a mistake but who knows as we were not able to access the restaurant on our return journey. Would we go...
