In a separate bowl, toss cranberries with sugar; add to flour mixture along with orange peel and nuts. Mix lightly.

In another bowl, beat together cream and egg; slowly pour into dry ingredients, mixing with rubber scraper until dough forms. Knead dough 4 or 5 times, being careful not to over handle. Divide dough in half. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Shape each half into a 6 inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Place scones on lightly greased baking sheets.

Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
