No one yet has mentioned oat cakes but they were the bread of Scotland and in fact Scottish armies traveled far on their ability to make food out of oats, salt and water, fried on the back of a shovel over a fire. Mutton, leeks, herring, cod, and maybe boiled pudding. But for everyday it was oat cakes and more oat cakes.

Definitely NOT potatoes! Someone mentioned potatoes, but they came from the new world, the America's, and could not have been in Scotland until the 16th century. I'm just guessing... but the coastal regions would definitely have eaten a lot of fish. Someone mentioned game and anything they could grow, which, as was also mentioned, was not much.

Basic Iron Age food. Chicken, pork, beef, any game they shot, wild vegetables, anything they grew.

wild boar, venison, oats, greens, herbs of the field, roots like turnips, fish along the coast and lakelands, and occasionally, seal and walrus.
