Oats and Scots

By Kay Glasgow

There's no grain quite so basic to Scotland as oats, a prime ingredient for the world renown Scottish dish, haggis. This primal quality might explain the bumper sticker: Oatmeal Savage! The anagrams explore some of the colourful history and resourceful ways Scotland nourished generations with the grain that grew well in Scotland's cool wet conditions.
