Re: Rare Sighting
Mmm. To me that looks like a female of the Dunbartonshire strain of Haggis. The Perthshire Haggis has longer legs and fuller thighs.

Re: Rare Sighting
Fascinating. I had never seen a wild haggis in it's natural habitat. Does help to explain why the domesticated species tastes the way it does.

Yes, I am certainly learning as much essential information to equip me for life as I did on a very successful school day.

Re: Rare Sighting
We did an entire class on the Haggis once. Being as how I am a nurse/midwife, naturally I dealt with delivery (at the Royal Haggalonian Infirmary) and early infancy. A friend taught about the complex anatomy and physiology, blood (& other circulation), I think someone expounded on nutrition. I rather think fluid intake would probably be better described by someone like Donald ...?

Re: Rare Sighting
Paniaa, the Haggis normally appear in abundance on January 25th,seem to be early this year something to do with Global warming/climate change the Haggi experts think

Oh yes, I know a lot about fluid intake - whisky, wine ...........! Originally Posted by Paniaa
