About | Eat Haggis

Taking inspiration from the classic "Keep Calm and Carry" on poster. The "Eat Haggis and Ceilidh On" TM range of products orginally came from a single image made to celebrate St Andrews day on the 30 November. It proved so popular however that eventually a series of high quality prints and gift cards were produced and we are delighted to introduce the new T-shirt and mugs ranges too.

As well as buying through this site we have a range of wonderful stockists all around the country, see list here

ABOUT SCOTLAND
SCOTLAND
Scotland is a country occupying the nothern third of the islands of Great Britain. It consists of a mainland section and over 790 smaller islands. It is famous for whisky, tartan, haggis and it's people having a strong sense of humour.

HAGGIS
Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish memorialised as the national dish of Scotland by Robert Burns in his poem "Address to a Haggis" in 1787. They originally contained sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally simmered in the animal's stomach for approximately three hours. Most modern commercial haggis is prepared in a casing rather than an actual stomach and vegetarian haggis is also now quite often served which does away with all meat and is surprisingly tasty. It is usually served with Neeps and Tatties (turnips and potatoes).

CEILIDH
A ceilidh (pronounced Kay-Lee)is a traditional Scottish gathering involving folk music and dancing. They usually take place after wedding, at New Year and at Burns' Suppers on the 25 January when Scots celebrate the life of the National poet Robert Burns.

DESIGNED BY
The Eat Haggis range was created by Scottish based architect/artists Hole in my Pocket who have worked on a range of unusual projects since 2002, from short films for Channel 4, building a Victorian storytelling machine for the Shetland Muesum to trying to solve the MP's expense fiasco through creative means and forming their own religion Himptology for an exhibition in 2010.
