Scotland's beloved breakfast staple is set to be brought to life in a whole new form as Mackie's Crisps launches their latest flavour.
The Scottish firm is expected to release a limited edition Lorne Sausage and Brown Sauce flavour of crisps this summer.
But with only 150,000 bags being available, shoppers will need to be quick if they wish to snatch a bag.
And if it is anything like the 'Haggis, Neeps and Tatties' released in December last year, the crisps are likely to fly off the shelves.

Commercial director of the firm James Taylor said: "It really does taste just like the real thing – regardless whether you call it Lorne or square.
We trialled quite a few different concepts, but the lorne sausage and brown sauce combination became an instant hit with all of our team.
“The addition of brown sauce gives it a really savoury and complex flavour profile — and one we hope crisp - and sausage - fans will love in equal measure.
“We're quickly becoming synonymous for our patriotic limited flavours."
He adds: "As Scots, we're too quick to put down our traditional foods, but in reality we have amazing produce and dishes we should be fiercely proud of.”
The Lorne or square sausage is thought to have been developed in the 19th century s improvements to metal making allowed for foods to be easily shaped or baked.

Taylor said: “We certainly hope that this new flavour proves as tempting as haggis, neeps and tatties did.
“We have enjoyed working on the development of this new flavour and limited editions will likely continue to play an integral role for our crisps business over the coming years.
“Those that prove popular amongst our customers could end up being added to our permanent range.”
