Haggis starting to be more popular south of the border

By Cara Sulieman

THE SCOTTISH Government is dishing out £400,000 in grant money to help haggis makers Macsween invade England’s dinner tables.

The cash – for a new packing facility – will see the company up its exports south after a surge in interest for so called stealth foods like haggis pakora, haggis pies and even haggis lasagne.

And with most of the supermarkets and independent shops across the UK now stocking the Edinburgh produce, Macsween is struggling to keep up with demand.

To cope they will be building a new packing plant and employing 12 new members of staff to up production of the tasty treat.
