Travellers and commentators on rural life in the eastern counties of Scotland during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, were accustomed to spoil: with admiration of the big boned, strong and muscular Scottish 1Jlougl11nen which they saw. It is interesting to note that at that time the diet of these ploughtnen was a1- most exclusively oatmeal and milk. A11 tinmarried farm hand was by custom allowed 17 1-2 lbs. of oat- meal for his sustenance. All that he got. 111 addition ".0 this was a quart and a half of new milk per day, and in the winter, potatoes on occasions though it is drily noted by a writer that when the p1'ioe of po- tatocs rose they were omitted from the diet.

With our modern varied menus. it

is somewhat difficult. to realize that _

people evei' lived on such a simple and seemingly monotonous dict. Yet this diet not only kept the Scots- man well, but made him strong and energetic too.
