Is this blog responsible for freeing American haggis?

You’ll know the sad story of the Scottish haggis kept out of the US for the past 21 years if you read the blogs below, especially Can Scotland make US stomach the haggis, America’s “most wanted” - no chance of parole?

But now, not exclusively announced on this blog, the great chieftain o’ the pudding race is packing its bags, brushing off its fur and getting ready to set sail for the shores of the land of the free.

Scottish American Societies are known to be sharpening their knives in anticipation, although there is some concern that Scottish smugglers (see above mentioned blog link) might have to retire from the bootleg haggis business.

Isle of Skye and the Outer Hebrides stunningly featured by National Geographic Magazine

If you love really beautiful landscape photos, and especially with the dramatic background of the amazing Scottish islands of Skye and the Outer Hebrides, then you have to have a look at the National Geographic’s January 2010 edition.

Have a look at National Georgraphic feature on Skye & Hebrides

The feature contains stunning images and information featuring these wonderful Western Isles of Scotland which include Lewis, Harris, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra.

The fascinating article, written by Lynne Warren, and with cracking photographs taken by Jim Richardson, focuses on the special geography of the region and charts its fascination with visitors in recent history.
