I'm pretty sure we visited Gourdon and had some wonderful fish and chips.

"We are already one week through May, which means summer is hurtling towards us.
If you are keen for a sunny day trip in Scotland before the busy holiday season, time is running out. Fortunately, even during the peak of the summer, there are still plenty of secluded spots all over the country you can visit that many Scots haven't even heard of.
One of these is the lovely little destination of Gourdon, which the Daily Record has picked as our latest Village of the Week. Sitting along Aberdeenshire's breathtaking coast, it is the ideal spot for a short getaway.
Whether you're travelling alone, with your other half, or with the whole family, Gourdon is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. Framed around a picturesque working harbour that dates all the way back to 1820, Gourdon may be less than 40 minutes from Aberdeen by car, but it feels like its own peaceful little world.
There is plenty to see and do in the village, with the highlight being the Maggie Law Maritime Museum. However, the star of the show is the spectacular trails that you can set out on for some jaw-dropping coastal scenery.
Once you're done, you can head back to the village for some well earned rest and relaxation. In terms of food, Gourdon is home to a multi-award winning fish and chip shop that has been described by visitors as a "little gem"."
