i think there is a hugh export market for haggis for hurling. /s

Haggis is used in a sport called Haggis Hurling, which involves throwing a haggis as far as possible. The world record for haggis hurling was achieved by Lorne Coltart on 11 June 2011, who hurled his haggis 217 feet. This throw surpassed the longstanding previous record of 180 feet 10 inches (55.12 m), held by Alan Pettigrew since 1984.[17][18]

On October 8, 2008, competitive eater Eric “Steakbellie” Livingston set a world record by consuming 3 pounds (1.4 kg) of haggis in 8 minutes on WMMR radio in Philadelphia.[19]

Following his victory in The Masters golf tournament in 1988, Scottish golfer Sandy Lyle chose to serve haggis at the annual Champions Dinner before the 1989 Masters.[20]

Control of Scotland's North Sea oil and a return to free manufacturing. That's what the vote is really about.
