skyvet, I have done a little research on the 'Haggis' you sighted, you are indeed right, they do have longer legs on the right and are certainly descendants of the 10 breeding pairs indicated by RichardB, what we did not know was that they are the Irish equivalent to the Scottish species, an interesting experiment took place recently when both species were introduced to each other, after a small amount of sniffing and snuffling, the two species seemed to get along just fine in each others company, what a pity we humans are not gifted with the same intelligence as the 'Haggis'........ :) :) :) :) :)

i spotted one in Prodromos, due to high temperatures and humidity, that bastard have grown to an enourmous sizes and attempted to attack me and my family. It was probably mating season... i ran over the poor thing with my Landrover several times before he kicked it. Beware, do not attempt to breed Haggis in subtropical countries as this may cause unpredictable mutation similar to the one i've encountered.

raymanuva, it is customary at ceremonies where the 'Haggis' is presented for feasting, for the creature to receive the distinct honour of being 'Piped In' by suitably attired Highlanders, the skirl of the pipes is said to be a truly memorable occasion and a tradition worthy of the Scots who uphold it. I do hope, therefore, that you afforded the unfortunate creature you slaughtered, full ceremonial burial rights, if you could not acquire bagpipes, I am sure a sombre melody on your bouzouki would be quite appropriate, seeing as how the poor wee beastie met his fate in this foreign land. ............ :D :D :D :D :D
