Barred Girdle-A Taste of Hearth Cooking

A girdle was used in the Highlands of Scotland for baking oat bannocks.  Most commonly used was a flat iron girdles but a variant of the plain flat girdle was the barred girdle.  The barred girdle were made with narrow bars of iron with some bent into pleasing designs.  Pictured is my reproduction barred girdle with oat bannocks.
