I think as it is 'provisionS' then it would have to be 'scrapS'

So I'd go with scran - is that a typical Scottish word?

Yes I'm aware of the definition and use of the word in certain parts of the UK; I think the Factfinder is a Scottish publication so just asking if 'scran' is commonly used there.

Just checked my Scots glossary and scran is shown as scraps of food.
