Way out West (incorporating Way up North)

night clubbing...

I have now returned from the delights of Glasgow to the relative calm of Deeside, the last couple of days before I came back I was staying with one of my cousins, and she in turn was visited by her youngest sister. Said youngest sister's current boyfriend has a brother who lives in Turriff (North Aberdeenshire), and they had gone to visit him a few weeks back. Anyone who knows that part of the county will be aware that other than on a friday night, it isn't the liveliest of places, so you can imagine my surprise and faint incredulity when she told me that they had gone out to a nightclub.

Said institution is apparently in some sort of barn in the middle of nowhere, and judging by her description, is veering towards the unsophisticated. However, and this is the critical point, she was pleased and delighted, on arrival, to be offered a plate of stovies*. Truly this is an aberdonian interpretation of a night out.

*Stovies are a mixture mostly of cooked meat, potato and stock, cooked on the stove, there are many recipes and variations, google can enlighten you further, if you need it...
