A new family-friendly event coming to The Oak Tree Inn, Loch Lomond

GLASGOW, Scotland - Feb. 7, 2025 - PRLog -- Embark on a Family-Friendly Adventure with 'Hunt the Haggis' in Balmaha, Loch Lomond

The Oak Tree Inn is thrilled to announce "Hunt the Haggis," an engaging treasure hunt designed for families and adventure enthusiasts visiting the picturesque village of Balmaha.

Participants can purchase a map and guide for just £5 from the Balmaha Village Shop or The Oak Tree Inn reception. Following the clues will lead hunters to various Haggis Houses hidden throughout the scenic village. The goal is to locate these houses and discover the secret codeword.

The wild Haggis, a creature steeped in Scottish folklore, is said to have multiple species. Balmaha, in particular, is reputed to be home to multiple of these species, making it a prime location for enthusiasts. Though often discussed in legend, confirmed sightings are rare, with only a few blurry photographs and fleeting eyewitness accounts recorded.

When observing Haggis and their young Haglets, it is crucial to avoid disturbing them. Move quietly, and never attempt to touch or feed them. As human activity encroaches on their natural habitat, we must be responsible for preserving this iconic Scottish creature for future generations.

Tips for a Successful Hunt:

• Approach Haggis Houses quietly; it's best to avoid loud noises, especially bagpipes.
• Keep an eye on the hillsides for small, furry creatures moving in circles.
• Most importantly, bring along a sense of adventure!

Even if a haggis remains elusive, participants are sure to enjoy a memorable day exploring the scenic beauty of Balmaha.

Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to delve into Scottish folklore and enjoy a delightful family outing.
