Seasonality in a Scottish Diet

Finbar McCormick

Environmental Archaeology, 1998, vol. 3, issue 1, 55-62

Abstract: A mid-eighteenth century housebook from a Scottish estate provides daily information concerning the food consumed by the household. This allows us to consider the meat diet of the family and their servants in terms of seasonality. It shows that few foods are eaten consistently throughout the year.
