A Hunting We Will Go


I should probably keep this to myself, but today is St. Andrews Day at noon, 30 November, GMT, Haggis season is on until January 25 and continues for eight weeks.  Just surf on by Haggis Hunt. The Grand Prize is one night's stay in the luxury accommodation of the Kingdom of Fife Suite at Fairmont St. Andrews including dinner.  As well as this fantastic prize you will be invited to visit the Mackie's crisp factory in Perthshire and take home a selection of Mackie's crisps - in haggis & cracked black pepper and six other fantastic flavours.  
.
 Since most statesiders can't afford to just pop over for a couple of nights, the under prizes are usually fun.

The rules are simple.

1. Stop while on your way to somewhere else.
2. Look at the webcams.
3. If you see a Haggis, click on the "I Saw A Haggis" link.
4. If you haven't played before, register once.
5. Make frequent trips since every click goes into the hat.
6. A drawing from all entries after January 25 will determine winners.

There are three kinds of Haggii you might spot: The slender female of the species; The Great Golden Haggis; and the standard breed.



Even if you don't play, a one time stop is fun just to read the Haggisclopedia.

The annual Haggis Hunt season has begun. For those who like to surf the web, this is a great spot to hit in passing from now through January 25 (Burns Day in Scotland). There are weekly prizes, but the fun is in spotting the Haggis on one of the ten scenic or social web cams and playing the haggis games.

Be sure to brush up on your Haggis spotting talents by dispensing with any myths you might have about it being nothing up a sheep's stomach stuffed with oatmeal and gizzards. This noble beast is so much more.

Have a good time.

The Great Haggis Hunt Begins!!!



I should probably keep this to myself, but at midnight, GMT, Haggis season is on until January 25. Just surf on by Haggis Hunt. The Grand Prize is a two night stay at the Gleneagles in Scotland. Since most of us statesiders can't afford to just pop over for a couple of nights, the under prizes not yet announced are usually fantastic.

The rules are simple.

1. Stop while on your way to somewhere else.
2. Look at the webcams.
3. If you see a Haggis, click on the "I Saw A Haggis" link.
4. If you haven't played before, register once.

HAPPY HUNTING
