Wild Haggis are ... said to be native to the Scottish Highlands. It is generally held that the haggis is a three-legged bird with vestigial wings like an ostrich or an emu. Each leg is believed to be different length, a short leg and two long legs - although the Great Highland Haggis has one long and two short - allowing it to run rapidly round the mountains and hillsides which make up its natural habitat. It is also believed that male haggis run only clockwise and female haggis run only in a counter-clockwise direction. However, this only occurs when it is disturbed from its normal routine of sleeping on the heather which covers the hills and mountains of Scotland. Folklore tells us that during Haggis Season, Wild Haggis are hunted, and their meat served up as a local delicacy, the well-known Scottish food, haggis. Scotch eggs are this creature's eggs.
