Looking for something interesting to do tomorrow on bank holiday Saturday? Look no further.
The world haggis eating championship is part of the Birnam Highland Games. The 126th gathering will take place at the Games Park, Little Dunkeld.
As well as all the track and field events, Birnam Games have now become famous for the annual world haggis eating championship. Last year's champion, Willie Robertson, will be pitting his eating skills against entrants from all over the world. Local rival Callum McLeod, who narrowly lost on a photo finish, is in early training and will be one of the main competitors. Visitors will be encouraged to compete and will also be offered some of the haggis to taste after the event.
An American Travel channel television crew are in Dunkeld filming the games as are a Norwegian crew who are filming footage for use in Europe.
Gates open at 11am and the events start at noon. Dunkeld is situated 12 miles north of Perth just off the A9 to Inverness.
