That might be good. I'm really struggling with dairy again, I don't digest it well, and I've been using toasted sesame seed oil in my skirlie, but it definitely adds it's own taste. Nice but I might give the coconut oil a go.

Seed oils give me heart pains I usually use animal fat or coconut oil I really like coconut oil for skirlie I'm assuming pinhead oatmeal? My father's long passed so carn T ask him.

I like pinhead, though the supermarkets are pushing the Irish steel cut oats...I think those are too hard.

Pinhead you can leave soaking overnight and just bring up to the boil the next morning and they're ready as porridge. The others need twenty minutes plopping away before they're cooked. Life's too short to spend twenty minutes with a spurtle when I don't need to.

Pinhead cooks well in skirlie too I find, and it's good in stuffing, makes good oatcakes and coats fish well too :)

Steel cut are just the hard groats chopped. The pinhead meal is lightly ground, well it should be.
Buy something that says Scottish or English oatmeal on it, and that ought to be it.
