We have been asked by the SHPS ( Scottish Haggis Protection Society) to warn people about the dangers of Haggis Laying Season.
The months of July and August are when Haggi are particularly dangerous, while protecting their newly hatched Hagglets.
If you spot a brood while you are out and about exploring , please do KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE!
Coastal Haggi can be particularly vicious and give you a Nasty peck, they are very fast swimmers. But the worst ones are the rarely seen Galloway Belted Haggi , they live in the hills and can run particularly quickly for the species . Also watch out now for Urban Haggi that due to changes in modern agricultural practice , come into the town's and villages to look for turnips, ( their favourite food) .
There are many rumours that Avon skin so soft is a good Haggi Repellent - THIS IS NOT TRUE , Every one locally knows the only thing that keeps them way is if you suck plenty of Moffat Toffee or play loud Bagpipe music!
PLEASE DO BE CAREFUL
