Changes

Scots like to tease tourists with the suggestion that a haggis is a small Scottish animal whose unique feature is having two legs shorter on one side of their body so that they can run round mountains.  Unfortunately, the male and female haggises have the shorter legs in opposite sides so they go round in opposite directions.  Don't be fooled.

The haggis has become an exalted component of [[Robert Burns|Burns]] Night, where gastronomic banquets (known as Burns' Suppers) are held in honor of Scotland's national poet's birthday (January 25). The highlight of the evening is usually a recitation of the poem ''[[Address to a Haggis]]''.  Slices of haggis are then consumed accompanied by glasses of [[whisky]].
