On Islay there is lots of different festivals like Halloween and new year. There is a famous poet called Robert Burns and we celebrate his life every year by saying poems that he wrote. We also eat haggis to celebrate as well. Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish that is made up of sheep brains and sheep intestines- it tastes better than it sounds. There is also some more festivals like the Islay show. The Islay show is a festival where lots of farm animals are put into a competition and can win prizes such as money. There is also a big fair, it is for the kids, there is many thing you can do that are fun like going on the bouncy castle and there is a very high rock climbing thing you can go on. Thank you for reading hope you know a bit more about Islay.

We celebrate the same celebrations but in a different way, we eat different foods and we have different traditional meals too. We also don’t celebrate Robert Burns either.

Wow that food sounds gruesome! We don’t have alot of strange foods in Birkenhead, we mostly just eat street food and homemade. Now I’ve read your blog I might consider trying some Haggis.

This haggis looks nice do you think i might like it and do you like it i celibrate my new year by spending time with my family.
Hi, I have also been to a food festival and eaten frogs legs !! They tasted like chicken, I had garlic butter with them. I enjoyed them. I have tasted haggis when I was in Scotland, we went to the Highlands and it was nice. I am climbing Snowdon in a few weeks, which is a mountain in Wales. I hope to climb Ben Nevis soon – I have seen this mountain and it always has snow on top. Have you climbed Ben Nevis?
