Frankie's Fish and Chips Cafe & Takeway in Brae has made the shortlist of three in the battle to be named Scotland's best chippie.
It is up against The Bay in Stonehaven and The Chip Box in Stewarton, Ayrshire.
If Frankie's wins it will go forward to the UK contest for the title of Independent Takeaway Fish and Chip Shop of the Year 2012.
The chippie, which opened three years ago and has been widely acclaimed, can now expect an un-announced visit from an industry judge who will assess the business on a wide variety of criteria, including product quality, customer service, food preparation procedures, hygiene, innovation, staff training and development, promotional activity and approaches to sustainable sourcing.
