    had a big flag stone and they placed the cake up against it. This was the support they had for baking their bread. When there was a wedding it was usual for them to pull the table across the hearth and placed the flag stone up against it and that was the way they baked their oat bread. This they had with a roll of butter and it was usual that when friends came to the house they would all join and buy a pint of whiskey. When they baked a good many oat cakes they called them a 'buan-arc'.
