Hi,  me again.

I just cooked the feast for our Ceilidh, and we just did a Scottish event last
fall.

Finding cookbooks for Scottish recipes isn't difficult; finding period
Scottish recipes is.  We settled for beef, chicken, and cheese pies -- the
recipes for the beef and chicken were from Markham (fairly simple fare) and
the cheese recipe was given to me by the hostess.  

Life is crazed at this moment at work.  Tomorrow I hope to be able to bring my
notebook to work and give you the pointers.  

The most difficult thing about a quintessentially Scottish feast is the amount
of baking soda called for in everything we think is Scottish.  Unfortunately,
to the best of my knowledge, baking soda and baking powder aren't period
(please, somebody tell me I'm wrong!!)

Feel free to e-mail me privately.
