Haggis Herders – Rare Photo


The Haggis, rich in vitamins and minerals is reputed to give the Scots super human powers, making Scottish soldiers feared worldwide.

The largest domesticated Scottish haggis herd to ever exist was raised in the town of Selkirk, nestled in the Scottish Borders.

Their faces were much cherished for use as Sporans on Burns Night.

These are the Lowland Haggis. They can be differentiated from the Highland Haggis by examining their legs. The Highland variety had shorter legs on one side to enable them to run around the mountains.

Unfortunately, this led to their extinction as they could only run one way and were easily caught.

There has always been a huge argument amongst highland Jocks and lowland Jocks as which was the best for Burns Night.

The Right Decision


It’s great news that the courts have further punished this guy.

Detective Superintendent Nick Plummer, Head of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary’s Serious and Organised Crime Unit, said: “The outcome of this hearing demonstrates how we will continue to pursue drug dealers for the assets they obtain as a result of their criminal activity. Drug dealing usually involving the exploitation of the young and vulnerable and causes harm across our communities.”

I agree that criminals should not profit from their crimes. All monies and property gained on the back of others’ misery should be forfeit.

Well done to the police and the courts for ensuring this guy pays in full.
