I just had a look at the website and the facebook page. The website can no longer cope, so there will be no haggis hunt this year. Hopefully there will be lots of little haggis next year too if no one can hunt them now.

You see? Certain people in the UK Government will be delighted by this, as it gives the impression that the Scots are not actually able to run their own affairs.
Someone said to me yesterday, "Scotland is moving to the left". This will make thins very difficult for northbound drivers on the A1 who will pass through Berwick but, when they get to the Border, find the road curtailed by a deep cliff as they encounter the North Sea.
BTW Has anyone seen a MacSween's Haggis lately? They all seem to be wrapped in plastic now! Or have the genuine variety been hiding until the Season? [ 29. November 2014, 07:30: Message edited by: Baptist Trainfan ]

Horrors! I've just been on their website and they now offer a Moroccan Vegetarian Spiced Haggis! Someone at Holyrood ought to be told - this is nothing short of blasphemy!

But I still really like having the nice pictures of various places of Scotland. Maybe again after a while it will have haggis in it.

We can still see nice pictures of Scotland. We just have to imagine we can see a haggis in them.

Re vegetarian haggis: if I were ever to try haggis, that's what I'd have.

How can haggis be vegetarian? I get that the stuffing could be -- oatmeal, onions, etc. -- but what does the stuffing go into?

An old sock? For flavour, you understand.

I couldn't agree more, daisymay. All those pictures make me dream of places I'd like to visit.
I could take or leave the haggis, mind you, but on the game, they're kind of cute.

We used to have a flat just above the chimney from McSween's shop. The smell of boiling sheep innards of a morning - mmmm.

I'm hopeful next spring we'll be able to hop over to Edinburgh at least briefly. The husband has a conference in Dublin I'm tagging along to, but not sure of the timings. I definitely do want to try haggis. I think. He says it's good...

Haggis is verrry tasty.
I like mine for breakfast with some fried foods.
Cattyish, had haggis yesterday and local pheasant today.

On the game???* What kind of haggis are we talking about?
btw, if you want pictures of Scotland, you'll have to buy 'The People's Friend'.
*It's British slang for prostitution, especially the part-time, supplement-the-housekeeping kind.

The cute and sometimes very large kind. The ones that travel in large herds (flocks? pods?) and sometimes accompany Santa Claus.
I'm just glad that whenever I found a haggis, none of the folks near the adorable little thing shot it. Or whatever is done to a haggis during a hunt.
This season will just not be the same.

Well, here's something.
Just not the same without haggi, though.
