EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the lively traditions of the 1970s with this print titled 'Haggis Hurling. ' In this snapshot, we witness a unique Scottish custom where participants must stand atop a barrel to swing into action. The anticipation is palpable as they prepare to launch the haggis through the air with great skill and precision. On the left side of the image, we catch a glimpse of the 'haggis hooter, ' an instrument blown just before each hurl. Its haunting sound serves as a reminder of the womenfolk's cry, announcing their arrival by the river for this exhilarating event. Meanwhile, an eager dog stands at attention nearby, ready to retrieve any wayward haggis that may stray from its intended path. The scene is steeped in tradition and showcases not only Scotland's love for haggis but also its vibrant customs. Participants are dressed in traditional clothing, proudly displaying their heritage while engaging in this spirited competition. This remarkable photograph captures a moment frozen in time; it invites us to appreciate and celebrate cultural practices that have been passed down through generations. Preserved by NCJ / Topix on Memory Lane Prints, it serves as a testament to our rich history and reminds us of how cherished customs can bring communities together.
