Amidst all of the features about Robert Burns yesterday on air, on the Radio Scotland website and here on the blog was an animation featuring a talking haggis.
Here is the official line from the producer, Maragret-Anne Docherty:
Ode to a haggis as you have never seen it delivered by one of Burns' other favourite creatures The Moose. Enjoy John Gordon Sinclair's rendition of this classic poem as you watch the haggis squirm!
If you missed it fear not - here it is in all it's splendour. And let's not forget the Burns archive where you can listen to recordings of all his works.

And if it had been not the mouse, but the louse,reciting, who could have played that part?
