Photo of the Day

This was a photo I took at the Royal Highland Show, which I went to last week. These are 'Arbroath Smokies', - haddock which have been salted (to preserve them and take excess moisture out) before being smoked, hanging in pairs in a half whisky barrel which is lined with slates and covered in hessian.  I believe they use beech and oak for the fire.  A fascinating process and I can assure you the end result tasted fantastic...

I used pixlr-o-matic to age the photo and give it a more 'authentic' look!
