It looks so beautiful in the mornings, quite chocolate box. I'm tempted to take a copy and ask my FIL to paint it in oils.
Eilean Donan is also superb, I especially like it at dawn with the dark coastline.

A massive one - completely blocking the road in Linlithgow.

It must be related to all those barriers going up around the cross.

Or could it be to trap the HUGE haggis which is there just now?

Inverness is very grey and dusky at the moment, and the camera is trained on the castle. I almost missed the grey haggis, he blended in so well with the background.

It's the same car. I copied yesterday's pic to send to a friend in Linlithgow, and it's definitely the same car. How scary for the driver - attacked by a giant haggis two days in a row!

Meanwhile, another haggis has appeared at Inverurie, the snow has vanished once more, and the roads are clear.
If only Aberdeenshire Council could capture a flock of haggii and herd them up the A96, all our winter transport problems could be solved!

One of the marvellous Haggis properties, the short term disappearance of snow. However I am slightly worried the ability to night into day seems to be decreasing they now only seem to manage dusk! The alternative property of turning the camera to infra-red when it wasn't also seems to have disappeared.

And a third ...ummm...encounter... between car and haggis. The driver is going to have to rethink his aftershave.

Woot!
Kyleakin, Linlithgow, Stonehaven and Oxford St!
I think that's only Inverurie & Inverness I haven't seen yet this year! (saw one at Eilean Donan ealier, but didn't log it)
ETA oh,, and Kilmarnock. Not as good as I thought.

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.

One attacking a car in Linlithgow Cross, and a gold one perched atop a building in Inverness. Both disappeared as I was watching.

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'm late to the game this year. But I am currently watching a beautiful dawn over Scotland. No Hagges, though.
There is a street lamp at the bottom left hand corner of Linlithgow Cross that looks exactly like a Haggis in the thumbnail.

Well, there's a ginormous haggis at Linlithgow now. And a gold one at Kilmarnock.
Still not seen one at Inverurie. Have you eaten them all, NEQ?

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 ...
