This whistle is hand-made in Invergowrie by the river Tay, and finished in Oatmeal glaze. According to folklore, it was traditionally used by the ancient Picts and Scots when hunting Haggises (or "Haggi") in the hills. Possibly used by Robert Burns himself, in skilled hands it can perfectly mimic the mating call of the Haggis.

Hi I'm greatly surprised at how quickly one can master this instrument I've had it just a few hours and my home is infested with the wee $"!*&~#'s Haggi but not to worry I've decided to keep a brace as pets and eat the others!also I'm sending it to my daughter in Sydney Oz where I'm sure it will remind her of home and bring a tear to her eye but hopefully no haggi to her door.Be careful out there!

Great fun to amuse everyone with the haggis hunt story, and very useful to blow the whislte when my Scottish Country dancers get too talkative.

Having spent many days, even weeks pursuing the wily and elusive Haggis through moors and highlands I might suggest this device would be an invaluable, almost indispensable addition to the serious Haggis hunter's kit.
