Let the Haggis hunting season begin
This hot from the press from Scotsman.com
The Haggis Hunt is on
The temperature is plummeting. The frosts of winter nestle on the moors. And the steam is rising from massed ranks of the haggis hunters.
At haggishunt.com we are reviving a fine old Scottish tradition: the hunting of the haggis.
Prizes
To encourage the resurgence of this great pastime, we are offering some great prizes, including two nights of luxury at the world famous Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire (if you are picked out of the Grand Prize draw for snaring a Golden Haggis), bottles of Champagne Gobillard NV, Scotsman calendars and passes to The Scotsman's Digital Archive. More great prizes will be announced soon, so watch this space!
But fear not, to win you do not need to go out onto the hills, nor will you have to harm one of these rare creatures (haggishunt.com is totally environmentally friendly). You can hunt the haggis from the comfort of your computer.
How to play
Simply browse through our ten haggis-cams, which are located in various parts of our beautiful country (and in London and New York, for the benefit of the haggis diaspora).
If you see a haggis, click on the "I saw a haggis" link displayed under the cam.
You will then need to login or register (free) if you are a first time hunter.
You will then be entered into a draw for one of our great prizes.
Enjoy browsing the haggis-cams and while enjoying Scotland's natural beauty, plan your strategy for the hunt.
Why not also swot up on your haggis lore with our extensive Haggisclopedia?
