Tour Scotland Video Wrapping Fish And Chips In A Scottish Fish And Chip Shop

Tour Scotland video of wrapping Fish and Chips in a Scottish Fish and Chip Shop in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. British fish and chips were originally served in a wrapping of old newspapers, but this practice largely ceased as a result of a European Union directives, with plain paper. Fish and chips became a common meal among the working classes in Scotland as a consequence of the rapid development of trawl fishing in the North Sea, and the development of railways which connected the ports to major industrial cities during the second half of the 19th century, which meant that fresh fish could be rapidly transported to the heavily populated areas.
