Where would you take your Hamish McHaggis? It's a competition!

Ever since the Hamish McHaggis toy arrived earlier this year I've had some lovely photos sent to me of Hamish with his new friends.  Hamish seems to get everywhere!  

So I decided it would be fun to run a competition with a bag of Hamish goodies as a prize. 

Libby

Here are some of the wee Hamish fans and where they take their Hamish!

Libby

Little Libby in New Zealand is a great Hamish fan. He goes everywhere with her! 

Libby and Hamish 

When her grandparents came to Scotland this summer they were under strict orders to get another Hamish  for her, just in case he got lost or worn out!

Matthew and Hamish

Little Matthew from West Lothian in Scotland likes to take his Hamish to bed with him, to ensure he has sweet dreams!

Zoe 

Zoe was visiting from Northern Ireland when she was delighted to spot Hamish in Waterstones  window in Princes Street, Edinburgh.

Eilidh with her Hamish

And this is the lovely Eilidh who loves her Hamish so much that when she was going to be a bridesmaid at her auntie's wedding she had to take Hamish along.

  He is looking very smart in this photo with his tartan bowtie!

Eilidh

And doesn't Eilidh look gorgeous in her bridesmaid dress!

Lucy and Alan  - Congratulations!

Hamish decided he just had to get his photo taken with the bride and groom!













Sheonad, Eilidh's mum, has a great blog. Do drop by and have a look.  www.touchandtickle.blogspot.co.uk
Eilidh has Spinal Muscular Atrophy and her mum Sheonad is working to raise awareness of the condition.
