I'm not sure if these are available anywhere?

Years ago I found a broken one under a stone within the ruined walls of a very old croft on the wild shores of Loch Sheil. I quite fancy having a closer look at one and maybe getting one, any ideas?

I saw them for sale somewhere when I was looking for Muck boots a few months ago. I think they were cast iron repros. It was country clothing type place up your way somewhere, I`ve just done a bit of googling but I can`t find them right now.
You could probably get someone who works in sheetmetal to knock you one up. Can't think of anyone off the top of my head but an armoursmith might be a good place to start. Probabably not a cheap option but you would get something unique and fairly historically accurate.
Tamarack have something similar WS, might be worth a look

Cheers guys. Shewie that's closer to the one I found. But the one I found was no where near that kind of weight. But hey we're on the right track here, they look very very good.

Looks somewhat like an " Abraham Darby’s Cooking Pot" British Red had one that looked a bit like the one in the link, but he found his in/on a scrap pile
