Great scot potatoes

[Teena]

Hi I'm new to this group after looking at it for some time.
I have been looking for a potato called 'Great Scot' but can't find it. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get this variety if they are still available. My grandad used to grow them in the 60's and now we have an allotment I'd like to see if they are as good as I remember.
Thank you
