Haggis is made of sheep's offal, oatmeal and and spices along with neeps (turnips) and tatties (potatoes) But Americans are struggling to understand what the delicacy actually is.

One Scottish TikTok user posted a clip of herself visiting Glasgow 's Kelvingrove Museum .

She said: 'Here's what a wild haggis looks like! It's totally real!! It's in a museum and everything' Meanwhile, the ' Haggis Wildlife Foundation' also presents the 'wildhaggis' as a real species.

Scottish writer and University of Oxford graduate Emma Irving confidentially describes it as an English invention.

The first recorded recipes using the name 'hagws' or ' hagese ' come from English cookbooks in the 15th century .

No mention of haggis appears in any 'identifiably Scottish text' until 1513 , when it briefly appears in a verse by William Dunbar , a Scottish poet at the court of James IV .
