What a lot of people don't realise is that the haggis is actually a living creature. It bears some resemblance to the bagpipe, having four unequal-length legs and a tail.This is because it has evolved to be able to move about efficiently on the steep slopes of mountain sides.

Happy Burn's day(night)Today is also St.Dwynwen day,the Welsh St Valentine.
Dwynwen was a 4th century princess.She was unlucky in love so she became a nun.She prayed that true lovers had better luck than her. She is also the patron saint of sick animals.
