The Haggis Hunting Season
Once again the Haggis Hunting Season is nearly upon us! Traditionally, the open season for hunting the Scottish Haggis is between St. Andrew’s Day (the 30th November) and Burn’s Night (the 25th January).
There is some disagreement as to whether haggi (the plural of haggis) actually have different length legs, but this is thought to be due to disinformation and ‘fake news’ spread by Sassenaches (English people and lowland Scots) who have never ‘bagged a Highland Munro’ (a steep Highland peak) in search of the illusive Highland Haggis. The steeper the peak, the greater the difference in leg length, so in fact you can differentiate between a Highland Haggis, an Island Haggis and a Lowland Haggis, just by looking at the difference in leg length. Some haggis have adapted particularly well to the boggy areas of Scotland having evolved extra long snouts that give them an advantage when bog snorkelling.
You must be aware that it is illegal to catch and keep a haggis that measure less than 6 inches long from the end of the nose to the base of the tail. If you do catch a sub-6 inch haggis then you must release it back into the wild.
It is also illegal to keep a haggis as a pet or to run an unlicensed haggis farm.
Happy hunting folks!

their mating cry is not akin to the drone of a bagpipe (or more), it is more of a low, soft calling 'irn bruuu. irn bruuu' The purple-
