Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest.
Incorporate the cold butter cubes into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal with pea-sized butter fragments.
Stir in the dried cranberries until evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula until a shaggy dough forms; avoid overworking the gluten.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into an 8-inch disk, approximately 1 inch thick.
Cut the disk into 8 equal wedges using a sharp knife or bench scraper.
Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each piece.
Brush the tops with heavy cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
