A bit more haggis humor just because.
.
.
We have this breed in our backyard on occasion… though I’ve never heard them play the banjo.
.
.
A classic.
.
.
That haggis does not look amused.
.
.
My advice?
Run!

To haggis, or not to haggis..
.
Because I’m still chuckling about this FB page.
.
.
Wondering if the haggis were including or cost extra.
.
.
Ouch!
.
.
Haggis wrangling is not for the faint of heart.
.
.
Almost little guy.
Almost…
.
.
Now that’s a carbon footprint.
.
.
The perfect stocking stuffer!
.
A wee bit more haggis..
.
Because I’m still getting a kick out of this crazy FB page.
.
.
I’d buy that album.
.
.
Lock your doors.
And your liquor cabinet…
.
.
Clearly the wee beasties are not easily trained.
.
.
I’m speechless here.

Haggi (haggii?).
.
According to the new FB group I follow, Wild Haggis are everywhere… if you know where to look.
.
.
And next Halloween?
Beware…
.
.
Some people have named their resident haggi.
.
.
Maybe my Scottish friends can help with this next one as I am unfamiliar with Buckfast.
.
.
Tragic, that.
.
.
Everything is a little different in Australia.
.
.
Interspecies cooperation is a beautiful thing.

More from new favorite wild haggis FB page.

I’m sorry, but I seriously love this silly group of people and their irreverent haggis sightings.

For those of my non Scottish friends, the definition of haggis is as follows:
Traditionally, a Haggis is made from the lung, liver, and heart of the sheep. These are mixed with oatmeal and a few spices and stuffed into the sheep’s stomach. After being boiled, the Haggis is brought to the table with a great deal of ceremony. A piper ushers in the Haggis and all raise a glass of Scotch whiskey and “brrreath a prrayerr for the soul of Rrrobbie Burrrns!” It is then served with “neeps and nips,” mashed turnips and nips of whiskey. I think you have to drink a lot of Scotch before you can truly enjoy this dish, but a party of Scots without a Haggis is simply not heard of.
.
While I proudly lay claim to Scots ancestry, I cannot honestly say I’ve ever enjoyed their much beloved national dish.
.
.
But that doesn’t stop me from chortling over the continued quest to spot the elusive wild haggis.
.
.
Wily creatures, those haggi.
.
.
Ouch!
.
.
😳

You know I had to join.

I was scrolling through my Facebook feed the other day and saw something ridiculous. Or rather, something wonderfully ridiculous as opposed to all the eye rolling ridiculousness FB is flooded with lately.
It was this:
.
.
Being proud of my Scottish roots, I had to investigate the page from whence this jewel came.
.
.
And as you can see, I joined my people.
I mean really…
How could I not?
.
.
I have a feeling I’m going to enjoy this page immensely.
.
.
.
.
Lesson learned?
Never trust a wild haggis.
🤣

Scotland. Home to fine whiskey, rugged highlands, a mythical lake creature, bagpipes, my ancestors… and haggis.
(If you don’t know what haggis is, consider yourself lucky and leave it at that.)

Since the owner/bartender of our local pub is a Scot born and bred, I thought it might be fun to show up wearing a mask of my clan’s tartan the next time we drop by for a pint. Enter Amazon.
Sure enough they had one…
.
.
Though by the look of the packaging, I’m guessing it was not made anywhere near a peat bog or by Clan MacGregor.
.
.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering….
.
.
The post title is my clan’s motto in Gaelic. Royal is my race.
.
.
Well, yes.
There’s that too.
