As we pass the shop onto new ownership, we couldn’t help but look back at where it all began.
Thanks to the internet, we were able to find this newspaper clipping from Wednesday 9th April 1986, published in the Kirkintilloch Herald, announcing that the chip shop was under new management and opening that very day.
This was within our first year of marriage and before our son Paul was born — little did we know then that we would still be here all these years later.
We hope that our grandchildren’s children will be able to see the chippy still standing many years from now.
It’s hard to believe how quickly the time has passed… where did the years go!
