The Haggis Hunt is back!

Post by LesleyB » Mon Nov 30, 2009 8:04 pm

For those of you who had fun with this last year... it's that time of year again.

http://haggishunt.scotsman.com/

Grand Prizes
We are offering some great prizes to mark the resurgence of this great pastime. If you are drawn in the Grand Prize draw for sighting a Golden Haggis you could win two nights of luxury at the world famous Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire.

Weekly Prizes
In addition if you spot a "common haggis" you could win Scotsman calendars and passes to The Scotsman's Digital Archive*.

* most of us would probably prefer this to the two nights at Gleneagles I suspect!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
