Tour Scotland photograph of mappies in Perthshire, Scotland. For some unknown reason in old Scotland, there were a number of creatures, where to even mention their name was a sure sign of impending disaster. This led to many names being changed and the rabbit became a “ fower-fitter ” or a “ mappie ”.
