This exactly!?!? I would gladly live in a bog if it meant plaid mushrooms in the summer and whisley with chocolate mushrooms for dessert all winter. Sign me up to be a Haggis farmer!
🤣👍 I don't know about anyone else but I am moving to Scotland! To live near those 'snow covered mountains and heather covered moors'! The chocolate covered fungus and drinking from those hot springs have nothing to do with my decision! 💯😋
The cinematography! The most excellent narration! The beautiful multi-colored haggis tshirt on the cream background that I wear far too often! You Haggis Wildlife Foundation people are as wonderful as can be!
It was so nice to see the 18 wild haggis of the Oban clan being invited to be pall bearers at Alex Salmonds funeral today. They did a most marvellous job. He rescued the queen of the herd many years ago from poachers in a violent struggle. Haggis never forget true kindness..🙏..
Never been to SCO, never had eaten Haggis of course but I've heard about it. All I know is This channel is friggin funny and so insanely cute! Greetings from Vienna🇦🇹.👋🏻
Its so amazing to see local wildlifes' amazing adaptations. Here in Saskatchewan, the bunnhugs are in their thick winter coat. You can hear them call to each other under teh northern lights in that familiar 'Cold enough for yah, eh?' and answering 'Yah no fer sure eh!' Its a harsh time with snow snakes lurking under the drifts on the correction lines and grids but the local wildlife is resillent!
The Church of Scotland recently carried out a breathalyser survey at one of its kirks to see if the parishioners were abstemious? So shocked at the results were they, that several parishioners were expelled on the spot. One said that they nae touched a dram. The only thing that explained the reading was their bingeing on wild Haggis.
I see them from time to time when climbing the crowdie hills but I've never worked out if they can swim or not. A video of haggis swimming would be special.
Endless Whiskey Pools and Chocolate Marshmallow Shrooms??? All this plus these gorgeous cuddly little creatures. Get me a one way ticket to Scotland NOW!
Good to see that you're no longer using a David Attenborough AI voice. Apparently he was "profoundly disturbed" with so many TH-cam videos using it. That said I sure he would have liked to do a documentary on the wild haggis. I've been to the Great Glen area of Scotland many times, never seen a haggis close up. However sometimes you catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of your eye and you think "could it be"! Also don''t forget the infamous 'Loch Ness Haggis'.
In the darkest, coldest nights, auld crofters would follow the scent of whiskey in order to find local haggis and collect some of their hair. Frequently, however, this resulted in several nips. Luckily, the hair was said to be a cure.
@@georgeblackley6028 The Haggis are very lucky. The researchers were originally going to study the MacLeod Orange Woolly Mammoth known to still inhabit parts of the Great Glen. Unfortunately one night while asleep in their tent they were crushed by heavy "things" rampaging through the campsite. Convinced it was the Mammoth, once they had recovered they insisted that the research should focus on something a tad smaller.
From the whiskey pools to the plaid mushrooms, these videos are genius. Absolutely hilarious, and I admit, so well done with special effects that I had to make double sure there isn’t such an animal.
I must say, I thought this was a joke : that this animal was AI and that the tartan shrooms were not real. I really did not know Scotland can be this magic. This is the cutest combo ever!
I have been watching this whilst eating my haggi egg sandwiches. Sometimes I boil them, other times I fry them and occasionally scramble or eat them raw. Also wrapped in ground haggi meat. Bon appetit, mes amii!
The scientific details are well researched, but the clarity of Professor McDougal MacDougal's speech, not an Och aye the noo in sight, has me pondering his Scottishness.
@@Julius_Hardware That was the joke. That I took issue not with the delightful nonsense being discussed, but that a Professor with an extra Scottish sounding name, spoke with an English accent.
This is up there with the famous Italian Spaghetti Trees as shown in a tv documentary one April many years ago. I'm glad the narrator did not reveal where the Haggis herds winter as the Haggis hunting season starts in nine days time.
You forgot to mention the rare "Arbroath Haggis" that lives in the coastal cliffs, within sight of Arbroath Abbey and the Harbour, as well as the famous Bell Rock Lighthouse, and the Royal Marine Commandos at Condor Base.
@@jodihankins9523 I forgot all about him although he was a great figure (from more than one perspective): Cyrano Jones, the personification of the "integer" inter-galactic trader. Thanks for remembering!
Attenborough got a bite from a Lesser Scrawny Whinge Haggis last week and stopped doing work for the HWF. Such a shame. McDougal MacDougal is far more qualified though - the OG haggologist.
Well, to Sir MacDougal's credit, he did put in a lifetime of effort studying these magnificently cute animals and their habitats so I hope he can continue to narrate. Mr. Attenborough was an angus- come-lately to the wild Haggis experience.
These must be a different clan to the Haggis my grandfather told me about he said they had one side longer legs one side shorter because they only run clockwise round the Beinns ( hills)
As a sassenach with roots in Scotland I would love to move up and live there except for your midges that arrived with knives and forks with extensions on there fangs when I go back to Scotland 😂
@@Turbine030 They tried exporting a small colony of the wee beast to Ireland a couple of hundred years ago. Unfortunately, they ate all the potatoes and were thus hunted to extinction. Mention haggis in parts of Ireland today and you risk being beaten with a shalalie.
How can people possibly eat them? Though now I know where the Scottish tartan came from. Clearly the Scottish people stole the idea from the mushrooms.
After all of the furore over the AI voice of Mr. Attenborough, I suppose a change was inevitable. Shame nonetheless. I do wonder how many, apart from Scots, pick up on all the connections to Scotland and Scots culture....... how about neeps, and Buckfast, and Tunnock's? I am no Scot but have known plenty and worked there for a while. Brilliant video, again, and some great merch' for anyone wanting some really unusual Chrissie pressies.
Have ordered items for my American friend and her family. More people need to know about the haggis and how the different species provide support to general Scottish wildlife.
Is there a Scottish Haggis Rescue society please? Can they live with larger dogs if carefully introduced? My dogs do have a high prey drive but as the Haggis appears to be a slow mover and is so well clothed in fur I'm pretty sure I could make it work.
@keithhigh7773 I tried it once when I visited Scotland. It's very sweet. Like liquid candy floss (cotton candy). Too sweet 😝 much like other energy drinks I've tasted. I'm not a fan.
@@brakecompo2005 Och nae, it plays havoc with their blood sugar levels. Shortbread is left for the sassenachs - they'll eat anything, especially if deep-fried in an Irn Bru batter.
Probably the best wildlife video of all time
I would just like to congratulate you and your team of obtaining this footage of wild haggises in their natural environment.
Endless whisky pools! Chocolate covered fungus! Why am I not hibernating over there? 😂😂
Midges.
This exactly!?!? I would gladly live in a bog if it meant plaid mushrooms in the summer and whisley with chocolate mushrooms for dessert all winter. Sign me up to be a Haggis farmer!
Cause you your not a haggis ya head the ball ??? lovely wee animals only found in harsh conditions in Scotland
@@openperspective no you canny cause you’re not a Haggis dundernut
you and me both!
nothing as inspiring as a majestic herd of wild haggis thundering across the landscape.
. . . .until they stampede on your toes.
But do they trample the heather? That would be a shame.
To me the inspiring stops at the endless whiskey pools. I hope that they're not blended single malts.
Ahhh, how I yearn to be there! ❤❤
🤣👍 I don't know about anyone else but I am moving to Scotland! To live near those 'snow covered mountains and heather covered moors'! The chocolate covered fungus and drinking from those hot springs have nothing to do with my decision! 💯😋
This is fantastic, the Irn Bru trees is something new for me.
At the base of the trees you sometimes get Irn Bru pools from the resin in the tree roots which given the right climatic conditions can seep out
The neep bushes are a nice touch too.
“Life in all its absurd Glory persists” a line never to be forgotten👍🏻👍🏻
Until they end up in "my belly" .. say in a Scottish Fat bastard voice ....
Particularly the Irn-Bru trees.
I love the orange leaves of Irn Bru trees ❤
I was having a bad day but this cheered me up
This channel is so educational! I had no idea that Whisky came from pools-I thought it was the sap of Scotch pines!
Wonderful! Great to see something genuine on TH-cam at last. 😂
My grandfather used to leave out scotch pies for haggis, they loved it.
We left out my grandfather once. They ate him too.
@@Julius_Hardware 😂
@@zamiadams4343 It was a cunning ploy. The pie slowed the unfortunate haggis to a crawl. This made them an easy target for the big-game hunters.
I'm so disappointed with DEFRA - it's days after Burns Nicht and they've not declared the end of Haggis hunting season yet 😢
Tartan mushrooms - a true delicacy, especially when deep-fried in batter.
A true compliment to a deep fried Mars bar
With deep-fried Mars bars to follow - yum.
What a wonderful idea tunnock's shrooms and whiskey pools. Lead on .👍😊😊
If Tunnock’s shrooms are as good as their tea cakes I must try one😂
This is such great content. You always leave me happier after watching. Thank you.
Thankyou for such whimsy,we need more of this Fantamagoria❤
The cinematography! The most excellent narration! The beautiful multi-colored haggis tshirt on the cream background that I wear far too often! You Haggis Wildlife Foundation people are as wonderful as can be!

I see them from time to time when climbing the crowdie hills but I've never worked out if they can swim or not. A video of haggis swimming would be special.
One of the best yet. Can you give advice on how best to observe them. Camouflage and binoculars from a distance? A bait station?
@@oldgreybeard2507 Just be sure to stand downwind of them. They can smell sassanachs in front of them for up to 5 miles.
Os haggis são excelentes nadadores, vi hoje um no rio Tejo às portas de Lisboa.
Tinha saído da Escócia no dia 7 de Agosto.
Nada mal (ou nada bem)
I hope they are not considered a invasive species in Lisbon😮. 😂
Endless Whiskey Pools and Chocolate Marshmallow Shrooms??? All this plus these gorgeous cuddly little creatures. Get me a one way ticket to Scotland NOW!
All that fur to keep them warm - and the whisky pools to drink from - heaven !!!
I love this . The story grows taller and stronger.
Even in the extreme cold, Endless whisky pools will make HAGGIS happy.
It would be a very harsh winter indeed to freeze a whiskey pool.
I've always assumed wild haggis burrow under the heather and hibernate through winter.
It's a sad day when you don't learn something.
Thank you.
This has got to be one of the best wildlife videos I've ever seen! LOVE IT!
Hmmm...tunnock mushrooms...yum!!!
They look so cozy. I want to pet them. Do they make good pets? ❤
Not really.
Every attempt at domestication has led to thier fur falling out, thier legs atrophying, and them ending up in a pan of water.
Yes, and their droppings make excellent fertiliser for Bonsi trees.
Yes they make toastie warm slippers
Brilliant even a ‘Bucki wine’ reference…..
And Tunnock ‘schrooms’……
They need to develop that biscuit!?
Thank you
Really interesting thankyou
My admission...I didnt even know haggises were a real animals...
Och aye. they are real . Crafty wee buggers sneak about , the cameraman was very lucky to have recorded them ,

I love the lowlands haggis....saw a couple on the Dunskey Estate near Port Patrick 💙☮️🙏🏴
It almost makes me feel bad about my morning roll earlier... I had a haggis doubler!
I've often wondered what the collective noun for Haggis is. Is it a group, a herd. I like a Huddle of Haggis myself.

Now I understand the skirts a bit better.
Have been up the Scottish mountains in the Winter....to survive that is quite a feat ...but the Haggis does it every year for months on end...

Just remember, Haggis is for every day, not just for the 25th of Jan.
Life is a little bit better now ❤
I love pizza with tartan mushrooms!
Tesco sell authentic haggis pizza - it's very good.
This is up there with the famous Italian Spaghetti Trees as shown in a tv documentary one April many years ago.
I'm glad the narrator did not reveal where the Haggis herds winter as the Haggis hunting season starts in nine days time.
What such FUN 🏴
I figured that they have single-malt whiskey-based blood in their veins , nailed it !
They keep a supply of food hidden in one of the tree trunks, should they ever be in need. No one has ever been able to find the secret door...
Adorable 😍
Tunnock's 'shrooms! ROTFFLMFAO!!! 🔥😈🔥

Best haggi for smoking
@@dronepilotuk392 Ahe but all that smoke from the smoking of kippers creates an odour not everybody likes.
Here's a question.
Do wild haggis have 3 legs or 4?
The answer: Yes, yes they do.
There are several species, as you can see from the video. Some have 2 legs also.
They live by the whiskey pools they can be legless
lol
Well done
I was so confused 😂 It doesn't take much though 😋 I'm so gullable 🤦🏻♀️
We all need whisky pools in the winter - lucky lucky haggi.
