The Old Haggis is a whimsical and richly imaginative tale that blends Scottish folklore with satirical charm. At its heart lies the titular character—a curmudgeonly, ancient haggis—whose stubbornness and peculiar wisdom disrupt the quiet routines of a Highland village. Through clever dialogue and eccentric characters, Dame Enid explores themes of tradition, identity, and the absurdity of societal norms. The story’s playful tone masks deeper reflections on aging and belonging, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking. With its blend of humour and heart, The Old Haggis stands as a delightful tribute to the quirks of cultural heritage.
