“Aye, we ainlie moved in tae th’ shop twa weeks ago,” says McCulloch, “’n’ we’ve awready git hundreds o’ complaints!”
Charles McCulloch, who moved into the former Bavarian Meats location on Wallace Road, is a huge fan of haggis and wants to share it with North Bay.

Still, McCullock is hopeful that people will come around to haggis and its many smells. Then, Charles is looking to expand into other foods.
“Aye, ah wis thinking aboot mibbie giein’ auld fish a chance wi’ a ‘reheated fish’ merkat.”
