If you were to visit Glasgow’s Kelvingrove museum, you would see a high quality replica of Scotland’s legendary animal – the haggis. A rare species, the haggis are native to Scotland’s highlands. It is a mammal with many unusual features: its right and left legs are different lengths, enabling it to quickly scurry up and down steep cliffs. It is a fluffy animal whose fur is long and mane-like, which helps it survive the harsh winters of its habitat.
Haggis are delicious to eat. Their meat is traditionally minced with oatmeal and suet, complimented with mashed ‘tatties’ (potatoes) and ‘neeps’ (swede). It is a hearty meal best eaten on a winter’s day! No wonder it is traditionally served on Burns Night, which falls on January 25th, the coldest of Scotland’s months.
Little has been documented on the haggis. The Loch Ness Monster has always stolen the limelight as Scotland’s most important resident creature. The mysterious, reptilian character of the Loch perhaps has more allure and intrigue than the odd looking, small creature of the mountains.
Story telling and folklore have existed in Scotland for centuries. The impenetrable landscape has attracted tales of fascinating creatures. The mystery of the crags, mountains, lochs and rivers has inspired countless tales of mortality and mythology.
Look out for haggis farms now popping up,but please don't feed them !
