Reporter Kaitlin Wraight said: "Grant's is a family owned bakery. It's been there for donkeys years. They do your classic rolls. Cold rolls, hot filled rolls, roll and tattie scone. They have a huge selection of cakes. It's the kind of cakes that you would get in your school dinner. It's very nostalgic. I got a chicken and mayo with salad filled roll. And the prices are really, really decent. You're talking maybe a couple of quid for a roll, which is amazing."

Reporter Kaitlin Wraight said: "Traditional Turkish sweet treats, essentially. They also have savoury options. You can get meals there and everything. I got baklava, which is a layered pastry dessert made from Filo pastry filled with chopped nuts. Filled with pistachios and either syrup or honey. They had the biggest selection of cakes ever. All really reasonable prices. You can buy them in bulk. You can buy a full tray of baklava. You can buy full cakes. Or you can buy individual slices. It's only a really short walk as well from the town. It's just across the bridge, over the Clyde."
