Nice story about Edinburgh in the Destination Guides on this site. Dont't forget to visit Waverley Station. Why? Just because.

And the story about Haggis that our kind webmaster wrote is, unfortunately, not entirely correct. The Haggis is a wee furry animal with purple featers. It has two short legs on the left hand side and two long legs on the right, which is conventient as it roams around the steep Scottish hills. To catch a Haggis, just pick it up and turn it in its track. It will fall over and roll down the hill. And.. oh well. You don't have to believe me.

Hahaha, this is indeed the version of a true Scotsman. Surprisingly the humorous myth is believed by many tourists, thus they are shocked - and possibly disappointed - to hear the truth. According to a survey from 2003, one-third of U.S. visitors to Scotland believed the haggis to be a real creature...

:D
