Owners of much-loved Dumbarton cafe to hand over the reins after 43 years

Owners of a much-loved Dumbarton café are handing over the reins after serving locals for 43 years.

Overlooking the High Street, The Gossip Shop has been a constant in the life of many residents since it was opened by Mary Baker in 1979.

For four decades, the business has been lovingly run by the Dumbarton woman and her three daughters – Karen, Marie Joe and Clare.
