A short humour strip that follows a  Scottie dog. At one time if you joined the Bunty Club, you would get a “Haggis” pin. From the first Bunty Annual in 1960 up to 1972 the covers featured a black Scottie dog in the corner of the frame, but it would be a long time that he got a strip in the weekly issues/annuals.
