Butteries are the softer ones, rowies are the harder (one might say 'staler') ones.

I refute that. I grew up in Aberdeenshire and never heard the word rowie until I move into Aberdeen for university.

Rowie is the word used in Aberdeen and buttery is the word used in Aberdeenshire.

When the news is officially confirmed, then to accompany the sombre music and suchlike, I’m definitely putting the kettle on and having a rowie buttery soft pastry bake thing. Or if I can’t find one, a chocolate hob nob.

Great pub food there with loads of football club mugs from across the UK hanging up. They should pop in for a look if driving through.

Websites that force you to select City: Aberdeen, County: Aberdeenshire are a true PTTGOYN.

Eta: it took me a tragically long time to realise that butteries taste far, far superior when toasted.
