Worker 11811 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I wonder whether haggis pelts are any good for making fur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKcoyote Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I would doubt it as "haggis" refers to either a Scottish pudding or a small flightless bird of the Scottish mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens8 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The problem with Hagis is that they have shorter legs on one side of their body than the other. This is so that they can run around on the sides of the Scottish hills better without falling over. This is why you never see a Haggis on flat ground. Any that venture onto flatish ground fall over straight away and get picked off by the Golden Eagles. This eccentiricity of the legs also means that the pelts are not high quality, as the fur on the side of the shorter legs is also worn, and coarse from rubbing on the heather. The Scots don't usually have time to worry about the pelts as they are too delicious to bother If you want to attemp to introduce a Haggis fur trade it might be worth a try, but they are VERY hard to see and catch. And bear in mind that future generations of your offspring might evolve shorter legs on one side of their body, and keep falling over, (or run in circles). Better to forget about the fur and just to eat them like the Scots do with tatties and neaps and washed down with a pint of Iron Brew. If you do so sitting on the side of a Scottish glen in the wonderful cooling Scottish drizzle, kept warm by the shivering whilst you feed the mosquitoes, then Life does not get much better.
