Haggis

Glasgow

I had to go to Glasgow for a meeting today but had a bit of free time to look around the museum.
In the natural history galleries, the taxidermy section was interesting.
They had this female haggis and other creatures like a jackalope, which is now extinct in Scotland.

And last year was for sea watching.

Wow, what an interesting looking animal!

With that snout and pale ears it's certainly a female Haggis, males have much darker ears and a longer snout...well captured Bill, they were always very rare! ;-)

Haggis... Haggis is food stuffed into a sheep's intestine, I believe. and it's good.

Looks like a lowland haggis in summer plumage.

Do they still have a mating pair?
Alan K23-Apr-2015 18:33
I thought they'd be.... taller.

Very interesting! I thought haggis was a food, but maybe I have that wrong ;-).
