An online retailer of tartan and tweed clothing has produced a series of tongue-in-cheek videos for Burns Night on January 25.
Innerleithan-based filmmaker and photographer Jason Baxter made a series of short haggis-hunt videos for SootlandShop.com just before Christmas in the scenic countryside near Duns in the Scottish Borders.
The films focus on two young boys and their adventure together looking for the haggis.
Duns Primary School students, Harry White and Cameron Redden, star as the boys alongside John Ritchie as the presenter.
The scripts and concept for the videos were devised by Jack Booker at ScotlandShop.com who said: "Although a haggis-hunt video might seem a bit run-of-the-mill, these videos represent so much more than that - I feel they show a local business that is willing to take risks and support local creative industry."
The film's have been made to look like archive footage in the hopes of prompting nostalgia and encouraging people to remember their past.
Each film ends with an onscteen caption stating: "Take an interest in your own heritage at ScotlandShop.com."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
