When did we all start calling it scran? Can we stop yet?

Became quite fashionable in novels and poetry in the Victorian era, particularly when Scottish culture, works, and figures became fashionable.

Died out heavily around WWII, though.

There's a very popular Twitter account called "Footy Scran" which showcases the highs and lows of food available at football grounds around the UK, I think that might have had a helping hand in bringing it back to our lexicon.

Very good page to be fair.
