You can find many of the recipes discussed and a number of the discussions
from this list in my Florilegium files.

Unfortunately, there are few, if any documentable recipes from period
Scotland. However with varying probabilities of accuracy, you can
come up with some probable Scottish dishes and menus for various times.

You might find these files in the Florilegium of use.

for food, at least in the SCA. :-) )
