What makes it ‘Scottish’? The measurements in metric?

Brits are known for their meat pies. Most Red Stag are in Scotland so the use of venison over beef makes it a very Scottish recipe.

If you wanna do the puff pastry from scratch I used this method.

I used 2/3 TX WT and 1/3 Axis round cut to 3/4 inch cubes. I also stewed it much longer to make sure the meat was al dente.

That looks great. Makes me want to go to Scotland and Ireland that much more. I need to stop putting it off and just haul my arse there!
