Scottish Picnic Customs: Compare and Contrast

[ThistleDown]

Talisker with water from the burn. Hard smoked Caithness cheese, oatcakes by Nairns if not from the kitchen, rich butter from Daviot dairy, thinly sliced roe deer tightly rolled in tubes, pickled onions, beets and little cuces, smokies, baps left over from breakfast, bite-bits of carrot and turnip and broccoli kept chilled in a flask of iced water, dollar pancakes, pinot gris, creme caramel, black tea. All slow food. Laughter and good conversation. Oh, yes, sunshine and a brisk breeze, of course. For two or four, over the Moray firth looking north.
