Scottish ingredients - vegetables, seafood, cheese, game - are rich and varied, and in demand throughout the world. Catherine Brown explains where to get them, how to judge their quality and how to get the best out of them. She stresses how important it is that those interested in learning the Scottish style of cooking should use the right local produce and methods tried and tested over generations. Here are the definitive ways of preparing all the great Scottish dishes: Oatcakes and Bannocks, Haggis and Clootie Dumpling, Cock-a-Leekie and Cullen Skink, Shortbread and Black Bun, and many, many more.

SCOTLAND LAND & POWER
ANDY WIGHTMAN
What is land reform?
Why is it needed?
Will the Scottish Parliament really make a difference?Scotland: Land and Power argues passionately that nothing less than a radical, comprehensive programme of land reform can make the difference that is needed. Now is no time for palliative solutions which treat the symptoms and not the causes.

Scotland: Land and Power is a controversial and provocative book that clarifies the complexities of land-ownership in Scotland. Andy Wightman ,explodes the myth that land issues are relevant only to the far flung fringes of rural Scotland, and questions mainstream political commitment to land reform. He presents his own far-reaching programme for change and a pragmatic, inspiring vision of how Scotland can move from outmoded, unjust power structures towards a more equitable land-owning democracy.
