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

I'm sure they are turning nocturnal this year. Haven't seen one in daylight yet.

Except for the one with Santa. A dead giveaway, that one!

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.

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!

Or it might be the wet weather that's to blame.
