It's just a trick of the light, really the haggii are much closer to the camera.

The largest haggis I have ever seen is in Linlithgow Cross at the moment.

Inverness and Oxford Street just now!
(Is that a sheep grazing by Loch Ness? It's not a haggis.)

No haggii. But the blur effect of the lights when the Oxford Street camera moves is interesting.

I've been looking off and on for over a half an hour, and not a haggis in sight. Perhaps they are having a little nap?

Still at Eilean Donan. And now on Oxford Street and Loch Ness as well. That's three at once for me!

There's a golden haggis at Linlithgow Cross. Strange how the pedestrians seem to be ignoring it.

Me too - until I got used to it. Perhaps it's an ancient fossilised one.

Kyleakin and Oxford Street. And I thought I saw one in Inverness, but it was only a car crossing the bridge.

Yes, it looks more real - always Skye was "purple" in my computer. I'm glad to see Edinburgh us usual. I've only seen a few haggises today, and Loch Ness is snow-ed where the sheep go.

Do you think we ought to warn them at Edinburgh Castle that there's a giant haggis trampling on the cars in the carpark. Can you imagine the insurance claims? ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Rain distorting the scene at Inverurie, there's an orange truck and the distortion makes it look like dramatic flames are shooting out the back.

I just saw that. Probably because it was actually daylight. ![[Biased]](wink.gif)
It was exciting, since I'm having bad luck spotting haggii this year. But, a rock doesn't add to the haggis bag, does it?

Wow - for my second haggis I spotted the fabled marag aurelius itself! At Edinburgh Castle no less.
The gods of the haggis hunters certainly smile on beginners.

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?"

Haven't seen any more all afternoon. Maybe like all sensible creatures they are tucked up by the fire writing the last of their Christmas cards.
It's awfully foggy up north now!

No haggis, but a beautiful sky at Eilan Donan.
I made further inroads into the haggis population of Inverurie by eating one last night. ![[Two face]](graemlins/scot_twoface.gif)

I also just saw that one and I do like also to see Loch Lomond as that's where we've camped several times and also gone on the ships which we see again.

Aha! Haggi are like buses. You wait several days to see one, and then two come along together.
There is a golden one at Inveruie at the moment, and a normal one at Eilean Donan Castle.
