I have often wondered, when you push the 'I saw a haggis' button, and there are dozens of them on camera, do you get a point for each one, or just one point?

I'm looking forward to hunting in new locations, but I'm glad that Eilean Donan Castle, my favorite location, is back. I love being able to see it at different times of day, in different light. Ditto for Inverness. So pretty.

It's not just the haggis which roam around Inverurie; Secret Santa and the Paschal Penguin have been known to frequent the shops on the left hand side of the triangular green bit. (Which, despite being triangular, is known as the "Square").

I wonder if Haggises turn white in the snow?

Posted by North East Quine (# 13049) on :
 
I'm finding it interesting how much more daylight Linlithgow is getting, compared to Inverurie. It's 8.50am here and still not full daylight. Even Stonehaven, only 30 miles south is noticeably lighter. And I can confirm (glances out of window) that the Inverurie webcam is accurately relaying the tone of the sky.

Posted by Firenze (# 619) on :
 
I'm seeing the thumbnail of Loch Ness, but it doesn't load in the main window - anyone else having that problem?
 

---

Posted by North East Quine (# 13049) on :
 
Yes, I've had that happen a few times; I think it's being affected by Nessie's "invisibility" forcefield. Every time Nessie comes out to graze, she freezes the thumbnail and stops the webcam from working.

mm - I can tell you that the Oxford Street sky is pretty accurate here about 20 miles away.

It does look as if one of the Loch Lomond cams is down - it's not all the time, just one view.

there's still a big yellow one in Linlithgow.

I'd noticed the problem with the Loch Ness cam too. And the changes in light across the region is interesting, not something you'd normally consider.
It's looking very chilly in Loch Lomond ths morning.

Was it green because of the green screen that sometimes shows over the camera?

All is quiet at the moment. Very dark and not a haggis about. I continue to be disappointed that Eilean Donan Castle is not lit at night.

I was too polite to say that was my impression about the haggis I'd also noticed it was female and thought that it might be establishing it's dominance as can happen in the animal kingdom.

I did see a haggis in Oxford Street today, and I wonder if anyone in real life, not like us, saw such one what they would feel?

And it did seem as if there were haggii all over the place they photo. At Loch Lomond when we've camped there quite often, we've never seen any haggis.

I've played this game for four years now, faithfully clicking on 'I saw a haggis' multiple times most days. (Don't judge me - it saw me through the last stages of my thesis!) I have only once won any sort of prize, which - alas! - was no bottle of Scotch but a 2010 Scotsman calendar when it was already March. It was a very nice calendar, but one suspects they were simply getting rid of surplus stock.

However, I have not forgotten my promise to Jedijudy, that if they ever send me another one, I am sending it on to her. Maybe this year, Judy ...

Kingsfold, I get some of my haggis here. They're not hunted from the wild, they're hand-reared in the Highlands.

The rest of my haggis comes from another butcher who hunts them at dawn on the slopes of Bennachie.

So you can't blame me for the dearth of haggis in Inverurie!

However on Oxford Street there's one doing her* Christmas shopping.

*Obviously female, as males of any species do not shop for Christmas before December 24th.

And now it's showing a roof and the side of a building. The hill in the background, with the sort of notch in the treeline at the summit, is Craig Phadraig; the place at which Christianity reached Inverness. King Brude had his fort there. Saint Columba went to the fort and asked to speak to the king, but was refused admission. So Columba commanded the gates to open in the name of Jesus, the gates swung open: instant conversion of King Brude!

The remains of a vitrified fort still exist.

A recent sighting of a Haggis piggy-backing on the Loch Ness monster has fuelled rumours that this folk tale is in fact true.

I'm expecting that to turn up on the Ness-cam. Anyone seen it yet?

I've never managed to see a haggis at Loch Ness, but a few sheep... and today when I could go on the computer, I saw one in Oxford Street. If I was walking there, what would I feel to meet a haggis, alive and "exercising"?

It looks to be just before dawn at Stonehaven Harbour and Eilean Donan. The other sites are still very dark. What time does the winter sun rise in Scotland?

There's a huge golden haggis walking the beach at Stonehaven Harbour.

Now there's a large brown haggis at Loch Ness. He blended into the grass so well I almost missed him.

One disguised by darkness at Eilean Donan.

That's better than usual, when it suddenly seems to get remarkably light when the haggis appears

And that's a confirmed full house. I think it's the first year I've managed that.

Many sightings today. Right now, Loch Lomond, Stonehaven Harbour and Oxford Street. Earlier today, I saw a male of the species crossing the road from left to right in Inverurie, and a bit later saw a female crossing the same road from right to left. Which gives rise to the question, "Why did the haggis cross the road?"

Farmer's market, second Saturday of each month. I can recommend the sausages from The Store stall, everything, absolutely everything, from the Ola stall, and the sunflower and pumpkin seed bread and chocolate brownies from the Crannach stall.

There's also a stall selling dog biscuits, which look remarkably fine, but not having a dog I haven't had an opportunity to try them.

And the only one I've seen now was on Eilean Donan, and it was the big yellow one, walking away from the Castle.

Just seen a little brown one at Eilean Donan, all on its own!

Those cars at Edinburgh Castle are never going to be the same again. They may also need counselling.

This is one at Loch Lomond at the moment. It is outside the visitor centre, just heading off to the cafe (judging by the tables outside, anyway).

Posted by Drifting Star (# 12799) on :
 
Hmmm. I've a feeling that sleeping haggis at Eilean Donan Castle might actually be a rock.

Haggis at Kilmarnock. And the sky and the water at Stonehaven harbour looks like a VanGogh painting.

Not quite sure what is going on but the lighting at Loch Ness gives an impression of the burning bush at present.

It's still there. Kind of pretty. Meanwhile, haggii at Loch Lomond and Inverurie.

And only 9 days left.

Oooh! My first visit and I saw one. I was so surprised I've forgotten where it was!
And you can't see anything at Stonehaven Harbour. I'm glad I'm not there!

Beautiful at Eilean Donan as usual

Haggis in the middle of Oxford Street. And elsewhere, lots of snow! (More than we have in Chicago.)

Posted by Surfing Madness (# 11087) on :
 
How am I going to check how much snow there is in different parts of Scotland, once the Haggis cam is gone. (Might help me to get other things done thought!)

Posted by Jengie Jon (# 273) on :
 
How about this collection of webcams, I think it should tell you whether there is snow or not.

Nice pictures, and many of them are connected to the Haggis Hunt!

A nocturnal golden one along the shoreline at Loch Ness. It must be a young one, judging by the small size, with the trees to give perspective. (What is the right word for a young haggis? Cub; calf; tiddler?)

Loads of them all over the place earlier.
Now nothing

Car crusher at Edinburgh, and gold one at Linlithgow.

Eilean Donan at the moment.

There's something unusual in the Loch Ness cam at the moment. The lighting isn't good, and it was only when I took a copy of the cam shot and enlarged it that it was clear that it was a haggis. I thought it might be be Nessie!

Snow coming down hard in Inverurie tonight. Haggis at Eilean Donan.
 

---

Posted by Mamacita (# 3659) on :
 
Haggis at Kilmarnock Cross, heading straight for Robbie Burns' statue.

Posted by justlooking (# 12079) on :
 
Just seen one at Loch Ness and I got two earlier today. Considering it's Burns' Night tonight they seem remarkably confident. This time last year they were heading for the hills. Have they got a cunning plan?
 

---

Posted by kingsfold (# 1726) on :
 
There's a partially dismembered haggis in my fridge at the moment. Do you think that counts?
 

---

Posted by Sioni Sais (# 5713) on :
 
Yes kingsfold, without any doubt.

I bagged one on Tuesday but it will disappear tonight with its partners in crime, Neeps and Tatties.

There will be no bagpipes but I'll be toasting my Dad in Scotch; Burns' Night was the one occasion he appeared to remember he was born in Embra.
 

---

Posted by Mamacita (# 3659) on :
 
I think they've gone into hiding.

Posted by Heavenly Anarchist (# 13313) on :
 
Dh bagged a haggis for us last night, before they fled.

Posted by Kyzyl (# 374) on :
 
No haggi at the moment but I do have a question after hunting for these past weeks... do the buses on Oxford Street always come in sets of 3?
 

---

Posted by Boogie (# 13538) on :
 
Well, it's nearly Burns' night and I still haven't won that bottle of scotch!

I can't quite believe this as I must have found 1000 haggises by now.

Humph!
 

---

Posted by Surfing Madness (# 11087) on :
 
....and it's all over. Maybe I'll have to get on and actually do some study now!

Posted by Kyzyl (# 374) on :
 
Wishing everyone a better haggis hunting season next year!

Posted by jedijudy (# 333) on :
 
Congratulations, everyone! You were outstanding in your sightings of the elusive Haggis!

As the season has ended, I think this thread can go to bed.

Thank you for your participation. We honor those who actually won prizes! ...And good luck when hunting season opens again!
