[Sca-cooks] Bread recipe request (OOP)

[johnna holloway]

The best account from books on the shelf --

See The Scots Kitchen by F. Marion McNeill on page 230. She refers then 
to her classic folklore accounts in volume 2 of The Silver Bough which I 
own but is again boxed along with all the other helpful regional ones.
It's an elaborate preparation according to McNeill and not just an 
everyday bannock. It originated in the Hebrides. I'll look but I'm not 
sure that I will find much more than the description.
