Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, soda & salt.  Cut in the butter and mix well.  Continue to mix, adding the raisins, oats and milk until you have a soft moist dough.

Transfer to a well-floured surface.  Knead dough into about a 7-8" round that is about 1" thick.

Place the round on the baking sheet and slice a cross into the top -- about 1/4" deep.

Bake for 45-50 minutes until nicely browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
