Image of 6 scones

[edit]

There are five other scones in the picture, but only four are named.Halbared (talk) 13:44, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Dave souza:, who took the photo. The caption says "treacle scones" (plural) so perhaps it would be clearer if it said "two treacle scones". -- Colin°Talk 15:20, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As described at the time, hot buttered tattie scones next to a cheese scone, shiny and flat treacle scones, and a milk scone above a fruit scone. . . dave souza, talk 18:02, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What makes the other scones 'Scottish'? These appear to be scones that have no solid origan place and are used across the Isles and known as such, this picture is used on a few pages where the scones are identified as just scones.Halbared (talk) 16:10, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The photo shows various scones bought from a baker's shop in Scotland, made locally. Delighted to hear they're used across the Isles, when in exile in darkest Hertfordshire that didn't seem to be the case. Shame in a way if regional variation has been lost, recollect Cornish scones as being different but nice. dave souza, talk 18:02, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Dave, I meant that some scones are not local variations (I am not sure what the correct term is), like Stornoway black pudding, but they are made everywhere. These scones are Scottish in the sense they were made in Scotland by a Scot, but they are not Scottish origin only, so I feel the title on this use of the picture, is incorrect Obviously some are, like the griddle scone which is a Northern/Scottish thing, but the fruit scone, they're everywhere.Halbared (talk) 19:12, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
