Having sung, "Katie Bairdie had a grice...." as a child, I now, fifty years on, know what one looks like!

Anne - words please as the katie bairdie i knew had a coo it wiz yelly black and blue

When I saw the headline I thought
"whats this about anne widdecombe"

I wonder if any skin or hair of the animal still exists. If so it will probably, at some time in the future, be possible to recreate it.

There may well be Shetland home where an old umbrella stand holds the last DNA sample of this creature.

'Short, squat, with a mohawk of bristled hair running down its spine, the grice was a primitive domesticated...'

Anyone that's been to Posers will be familiar with this description!!!

Could always dig through the old middens for grice bones and get the DNA that way. Hmm...there could be a PhD thesis in there somewhere or at least some dodgy sausages...

It's that bird fae the SNP again!
