Seaside holiday cottage in Scotland

It was a case of dejavu this week as the first guests to book The Lucken when we began operating last year, returned. It was lovely to welcome Geoff and Gill back for a second visit. They were lucky enough to stumble across a smokie making demonstration on the beach at Auchmithie. Of course Arbroath smokies should really be called Auchmithie smokies as the recipe and technique originated here, it's thought this may go back to the days of the Viking raids in the 11th century.
