Well, since you asked, here's a photo of the book (still with the price tag on it, lol). Interestingly enough, I tried to look it up on Amazon and can't find one exactly like it. But the authors have several other books out there on traditional Scottish recipes, so I'm sure that black bun recipe is somewhere in the other books as well. The clootie dumpling recipe I use is from this book too.

And speaking of suet, since it was on my mind yesterday evening from reading this thread, I decided to stop in at a huge new grocery store on my way home. They have a big meat department, and the butcher fixed me up with some fresh suet from the back. He told me that no, they don't carry it on the shelves and the only way to get it is to ask for it. They may or may not have any on hand.
