Hamish the Hairy Haggis

Product Information

It may be a mythical legend, but the fact remains that the Loch Ness Monster springs to many people’s minds upon hearing the word ‘Scotland’. He lives in the Scottish highlands, but once a year it becomes hairy haggis-hunting season and he must escape those pesky Haggis Bashers to avoid becoming dinner! Being English and growing up in England, the first time I came across haggis was when I was invited to my first Burns Supper at the tender age of 22, now a long time ago!

If you’re visiting Scotland for the first time, it might be the first time you have heard of haggis. First published in 1886, this adventure novel is set around real 18th century Scottish events and is a thrilling tale for young adults. This is a great choice if you like all the other ingredients and want to try a little haggis for the first time. My personal favourite, is the haggis dog, served at the Highland cinema, which is a delicious, juicy hot dog sausage served with toppings of haggis, caramelised onions and a peppercorn sauce. You’ll see haggis on our own Distant Hills breakfast menu included as part of our traditional Scottish breakfast option served alongside a choice of bacon, sausage, black pudding, baked beans, eggs and tomatoes.Other enticing factors may be our hot tub and honesty bar, both well-deserved treats after an epic hike or climb!
