Though particularly associated with the splendor and elegance of a traditional English Tea, the origin of '''scones''', also called biscuits, is believed to be of notable Scottish descent.  The earliest Scottish scone was an unpretentious quick bread made with oats or barley flour, shaped into a round, then scored or cut into quarters or wedges, and baked on a Scottish “girdle”(griddle) over an open fire.

Popular belief has it that this Scottish quick bread took its name from the Pictish Kingdom of Scone (Scotland).
