How about that quaint Scottish restaurant, McDonald's?  <grin, duck, run>

Oh all right, serious answer.  No, we don't really have any "Period Scottish
Cookbooks" but we have some clues from historic and literary sources.  It
sounds not unlike period English food, with emphasis on the foodstuffs
charactaristic to Scotland as such, like oats, cattle and sheep products,
wild game, cold-hardy fruits, salmon and other wonderful northern fish.
Don't forget the Flori-Thingie:
