Townhead Cafe
Vying with the Anstruther Fish Bar for the title of Scotland's best-known chippie, this bright and breezy fish and chip shop in the small Borders town of Biggar makes a reliable, if not wildly exciting, re-fuelling point for anyone taking a cross-country route between the M74 and Edinburgh.
