Trivia

The services are located in deep rural Scotland and they were one of just three to be built by Blue Boar - the company that built Watford Gap. Unusually, Roadchef haven't bulldozed it and replaced it with something more modern. Perhaps they want to keep the rural atmosphere.

They're the first Roadchef services you'll pass as you head north of the border.

It was first opened in 1973 by popular actor Rodney Bewes.

BP operate the filling station here.

Survey Results

In March 2010 the services were awarded for their health and safety practices.
