Hamish the Hairy Haggis

Product Information

We have recently celebrated Burn’s Night in Scotland and this got us thinking about haggis. If you’re visiting Scotland for the first time, it might be the first time you have heard of haggis. What is haggis? Ben Nevis is the UK’s highest mountain at 1345m (4413 feet) and attracts thousands of hikers, trekkers and mountaineers each year hoping to summit this iconic peak. Many of our guests at Distant Hills Guest House book to stay with us because we are just a short drive away from Ben Nevis, which is situated in Fort William in the Scottish Highlands. Other enticing factors may be our hot tub and honesty bar, both well-deserved treats after an epic hike or climb! How to experience the beautiful Isle of Skye in one Day 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! So, what is Burns Night and what’s its connection with haggis? I bought this book mostly because the protagonist is my namesake and I thought it would be fun to read to my class (all the teachers are known by their 1st names). Unfortunately, the writing is not hugely exciting, although the artwork is quite good which compensates. Reading to the class without showing the pictures however, does not work very well because there is little or no description in the book itself.

If someone tells you that a haggis is a real creature, do not believe them! Haggis Dishes A recent census showed that over 1.5 million people are able to speak Scots. That is why we are huge fans of favourite stories finding a Scots translation. The man behind many of these is novelist James Robertson, who as well as producing his own novels, has also provided Scots translations for tales such as The Gruffalo (our personal favourite!), Winnie-the-Pooh, Fantastic Mr. Fox (or The Sleekit Mr Tod) and more.
