.....and my lawnmower won't stop. Oh dear.... Oh and the lovely one where she phones the council and asks if she can have a shot at the drill while the workmen are away. Priceless!

I've been out and bought two. They are in the fridge and I am hoping that they will breed. Then there will be wee haggi, one each for the grand-TYGS.

Most of the original Free-range Wild Glen Haggis were creatures of the glens rustling around in the heather. These are the most tender, flavoursome Haggis. The inferior Free-range Mountain Haggis being tougher & stringier.
The so-called Free-range Wild Glen Haggis is nothing more than the Ayrshire Haggis - which used to survive on a diet of tatties and bacon. They were primarily domesticated and used as bed warmers. You will have no doubt read Rabbie Burns' poem 'ode tae an ershire bacon haggi'. They were driven out of Ayrshire in 1747 in a trial for the Highland Clearances. They made their way to the Great Glen, in what was known as the Migration of the Flockin' Haggi.
Their bigger size and preditory nature drove the Heilan Haggi perminately up the Munros, which lead to the clockwise and anti-clockwise sub-species.
There is the rarer anti-clockwise Haggi - whose left legs are shorter than their right.
A breeding program was set up between the common clockwise haggi and the anti-clockwise version. Unfortunately the offspring produced either had two short front legs and longer rear legs (which meant that they could only climb up the mountains and soon starved) or had two long front legs and short rear legs (which meant that they could only live in the glens which meant that they were easy prey for the grey squirrels). There was the very rare offspring which had one short front leg and another short rear leg on the other side - these just died of humiliation.
