Gretna Green, Scotland – 9 July 2025 – Gretna Green, the family-owned wedding, hospitality, retail, and tourist destination, this summer, from 7th July to 5th September 2025, cheeky Hairy Haggis are on the loose at the Famous Blacksmiths Shop, and young explorers are invited to help track them down!
Children can pick up a FREE trail map from any of the on-site shops and follow the clues to find the hidden Hairy Haggis scattered throughout the historic attraction.
Each Hairy Haggis is named after a different Scottish clan and proudly sports its own clan tartan. Every one of them also features a unique story, written by talented pupils from local schools, including Gretna Primary, Springfield Primary, Kirkpatrick Fleming Primary, Canonbie Primary, and Eastriggs Primary.
The six young winners of the writing competition each received a certificate and their very own Hairy Haggis teddy to take home.
Once all the Haggis are found, participants can unscramble the final puzzle for a chance to win a Kids’ Hamper filled with goodies.
No booking required. Simply turn up and collect your trail map in-store.
It’s a summer adventure filled with Scottish charm and fun for the whole family. Come and join the hunt!
