Rita Skeeter adds, for the benefit of Harry Potter fans intending to 
visit Scotland:

The last hopes of American tourists to go Haggis-hunting were today 
dashed as the Rhann of Kutch closed his Argyllshire estate to Haggis 
hunting, bringing to an end a centuries-old tradition.  His ghillie, 
making the announcement, pointed out that the Haggis hunt had 
increasingly been disrupting Sporran farmers, whose specially 
trained sheep had been put off the scent by the sight of tourists in 
lurid tam-o-shanters and plaid pants chasing across the glens.

Erwin G. Hackenheimer III, speaking for the National Tourist 
Federation, said: "This is a real blow for American tourists looking 
for traditional Old-World food customs to participate in.  The 
annual Morroccan gutting of the Cous-Cous Fish for its roe has 
always been unappetizing, the Sienese Spaghetti Pick is frankly 
dangerous, and El Nino has made the mass drifting of the egg sacs of 
the Tea Bag Shark onto the Cornish coast ever more unreliable.  
However, Americans can still find charming traditions in their own 
hemisphere.  Gathering and roasting the droppings of the Blue 
Mountain Mocha Rabbit is a lot less disgusting than it used to be, 
and, provided sensible precautions are taken, digging for Rum 
Truffles in Barbados need not result in more than minor injury."
