There was a big brown one in Linlithgow a minute ago. Must be the only one who has wakened up.

Apparently Santa doesn't eat the haggis. Which is the same problem kids have with their 4-H heifers and hogs. One can get so attached, you know.

I don't know why I never thought of this before, but do we have anyone who lives in any of those areas who's inclined to go there and hold a "ITTWACW!" sign for about a half hour or so, aimed at the webcams?

Just bagged six big gold ones and at least another six brown haggis al together marching on Stonehaven Harbour. Showing the flag for New Year perhaps?

I've not seen a single haggis for two days, now.

They're moving quickly. The herds were at Inverness and Kilmarnock Cross, and then the first group shifted suddenly to Loch Lomond. So that's 3 sightings at once for me.

Haven't spotted any Haggis. Note to self: Do not get obsessed with this, you have things to do.
But found a birthday present for the man who has everything. A genuine Scottish Title along with a plot of land and a tree dedication. Really.
I am in love with this idea and will purchase plots and titles for the whole family for their birthdays this year.
See the Highland Titles link at the bottom of the Haggis Hunt page.

That's clearly the problem - there are none left to reproduce!
