No and wee bit!!!
Scottish Borders

1 – Yes
2 – None. No increase in haggis sales either. In fact barely any recognition that it was a 'Day' at all.
This smacks of desperation if the government are going to use lamb sales to try to indicate an increase in Scottish nationalism. It might be better in some areas of the country to focus on St Patrick's Day. Certainly in here it is.
