Outdoors: What, when, where ...

How far can you hurl a haggis? Head for the Cairngorm Mountains on Easter Sunday and discover more about this arcane activity from members of the Order of the Crumbs at the annual haggis-hurling competition at Nethy Bridge. In the evening you could dine on six courses at the Abernethy Highland Banquet, attended by Dougal McDougal of Dougal, and have an opportunity to twirl afterwards in the eightsome reel.

The haggis-hurling competition takes place at 10.30am on 12 April at the Nethybridge Hotel, Nethy Bridge, Inverness-shire, PH25 3DP (01479 821203). Entry for the competition costs 50p a throw, with the proceeds going to Cairngorm Mountain Rescue.
