Findon (Finnan) is also famous for smoked haddock (Arbroath Smokie/Finnan Haddie). And very nice it is too!

Despite copious amounts of research, I still cannot trace a settlement with the name of Finnan.

Culinary information makes historical refernces to two settlements which lay claim to the origin of the fish recipe:-
Findon in Aberdeenshire
Findhorn in Moray
