Huge one on the roof of an office block at Inverness but it scarpered as soon as I tried to let Farquhar know.

Stonehaven Harbour has one on the shoreline in the gathering gloom. It's a huge one, about the same size as the cottages on the shore! ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)

Two at once: the big brown guy scratching his bum along the walls at Edinburgh Castle, and the big gold one about to attack a moving vehicle on the streets of Inverurie.

And there were a few today, but I didn't see any "groups" of haggii... but I do like seeing the pictures. There were a few big ones, on both Loch areas.

Just spotted a couple at Kilmarnock Cross and Loch Ness.
Kicking myself for not trying to eyeball a haggis when I visited Loch Ness a few years ago. Silly us, we were looking for Nessie.

One at Kilmarnock and two gold ones at Inverurie and Linlithgow. (Nearly found myself referring to the non-gold one as an 'ordinary' one but since when is a Haggis 'ordinary'?)

I love watching Loch Ness in the daylight! Even if there are no haggii, there are sheep and cows...and I believe that's a rooster just now.

There is an enormous one at Linlithgow Cross at the moment. Heaven is far too delicate a venue to describe what it seems to be intent on doing to a parked car, but .....

Jings! and Help ma Boab!
Can haggis swim? It's only twenty miles from Cairnryan to Larne, and I'm sure there have been reportings of haggis on the Antrim Plateau and among the glens.

And I twice say a little yellow one by Loch Ness; it's the first time I've seen that there, and also having seen bigger yellow ones, I was surprised.

I've seen several golden ones out and about this morning.
It is strange seeing such differing conditions in the various haggis habitats! They must be very adaptable.

There was a very big one, (not gold) in Edinburgh - bigger than the cars! And as usual one a bit smaller elsewhere.
I meant to say in Eillen Donan castle.

OMG, there were just five of them. Edinburgh castle, Oxford Street, Stonehaven Harbour, Eilean Donan, and I can't remember the fifth one (I'm using the mobile and can't have multiple windows open).

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.

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).

It's still there. Kind of pretty. Meanwhile, haggii at Loch Lomond and Inverurie.
And only 9 days left.

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

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?)
