The Murly Tuck

you're on the square in tarves, a village that sits far enough outside aberdeen to feel genuinely unhurried. the old school building gives the address a kind of weight, stone and history, the sort of place that's been at the centre of things for longer than most cafes have existed. the murly tuck has found its footing here among people who clearly keep coming back, and that kind of local loyalty in a small aberdeenshire village isn't easy to build or fake. you don't drive out to tarves by accident. it takes a little intention, and that probably shapes the crowd that ends up here. whatever you're having, the square outside is reason enough to take your time with it.
