Haggis and their greatest threat – doggy poop bags

Highland Haggis are sadly nearly extinct,

Full doggy poop bags have them hoodwinked

They gobble them up. Then they Die!

Haggis Habitat Sign now installed

The old Melvaig Driftwood sign was looking a bit weathered. As this year’s Hagglets have just started to leave the Haggii Holt in preparation for Midge feasting, I knew it was important to get the new Haggii sign up.

Haggis Caution Sign in Melvaig, Gairloch, Wester Ross

We have had beautiful weather again here at Oran Mara, The Last House before the Lighthouse and electric screwdriver in hand I got the sign up.

Seven wee Hagglets have been born this year and I want to do my best to make sure they survive. The rare Highland Haggis needs all the protection we can give it!

Remember the main threat to the rare Highland Haggii is doggy poop bags, but fast vehicles at dawn and dusk, when the Heroine, Hog and their wee Hagglets emerge to Midge feast can decimate the Haggii Huddle population.

To learn more about the Highland Haggii read Haggis History & Facts, written and illustrated by me, Mandy (protector of several secret Haggii Holts).

Highland Haggis Festival 2019

I had an amazing day at the Haggis Book Festival in Spean bridge.

Hector the Haggis celebrated his 5th birthday and we were invited along to the celebration. We sold our Scottish Beastie Books about Haggii, Midges and Puffins and I chatted with the children about our friendly Highland Haggis.
