Red Arrows Display at Peterhead Scottish Week 2018

The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, is one of the world's premier aerobatics display team based at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire. Representing the speed, agility and precision of the Royal Air Force, the team is the public face of the service and act as ambassadors for the United Kingdom at home and overseas and promote the best of British.

We were fortunate to be able to catch them live at this year's Scottish Week at Peterhead back on 25 July 2018. Flying distinctive Hawk fast-jets, the team is performed their trademark Diamond Nine shape and combination of impressive close formations and precision flying. It was truly a remarkable experience for BabySumoKids to watch them perform in real life.

Boddam Chip Shop, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

On our way up to Peterhead to see the Red Arrows, we stopped by at Boddam for our dinner. This coastal village is 3 miles from Peterhead and one of its most famous landmarks is the Buchan Ness Lighthouse.

For dinner, we had fish and chips from Boddam Chip Shop (yup, 3rd time that week cos fish and chips in Scotland is awesome!).

The fish and chips is cooked to order, so expect a 15-20 minute wait. After being served, we headed down to the lighthouse and enjoyed dinner with a gorgeous seascape view.

We had the regular fish supper (haddock fresh from Peterhead market, delivered daily) (£5) which comes with chips. The batter is light and crisp with lovely moist fish, and we enjoyed the chips too. We also had the Haggis pudding (£2.75) which is haggis coated in batter and deep fried while the kids had a portion of scampi each (£4). Everything was well cooked, if we had to nitpick, maybe this was a little greasier than the other ones we've had otherwise an enjoyable meal with great views.
