It's not before time. My friends in the Borders tell me that
cross-border Reiving for haggis is totally out of control in
Dumfrieshire. Seems illegal immigrants are crossing the Solway on
moonlit nights and taking so many haggii for smuggling back to England
that the Borders Haggis may be on the endangered list within a
decade.
There have been some experiments with haggis farming in England but they
just don't survive without natural heather to eat.
