Classic Bugs short, directed by the great Chuck Jones, has Bugs tunneling to Scotland after making one of his infamous wrong turns at Albuquerque. He tackles with angry Scotsman Angus MacRory, resulting in a funny golf match between the two. Many good gags in this one and some fun lines from Bugs and Angus. The animation is bright and colorful with well-drawn characters and backgrounds. The music is lively and upbeat. Wonderful voice work from the incomparable Mel Blanc. I would say most Bugs fans will like it as much as I do but, judging by some of the reviews here, that's not the case. Oh well, can't please everybody I guess. I thought it was good.

This Bugs Bunny short opened promisingly when he finds himself in Scotland instead of Los Angeles following a wrong turn in Albequerque (where else?). He spots a kilt wearing Scotsman playing the bagpipes and assumes it was actually a woman being attacked by some strange creature, Bugs promptly attacks the pipes and destroys them and is shocked to find that the old lady is in fact a man. Not surprisingly the man takes offence at Bug's actions and challenges him to a game of golf... this is where things go wrong. The game takes up too much of the cartoon and while it had some funny parts others just seemed silly, even for a cartoon.

In perhaps Bugs's first reference to that "wrong turn at Albequerque," he instead finds himself in Scotland where he encounters a Scottish bagpipe player (whom he mistakenly presumes is an old lady being attacked by a monster - if that makes sense to you). After Bugs unknowingly destroys the Scotsman's bagpipes, he decides to settle the dispute by challenging the rabbit to a game of golf. Wackiness ensues.Although nothing above the ordinary, this is still a pretty amusing Bugs Bunny short. The interplay between him and the Scotsman at the beginning is funny (particularly Bugs's portrayal of a Scottish landowner). As are several of the tricks Bugs plays on him when on the links. As far as characterization is concerned, Bugs is his usual tricky self (but no more) while the Scotsman is the stereotypical foreigner complete with a deliberately funny Scottish accent. With no other characters to speak of, this may be one of Bugs's most simplistic cartoons ever (not to be confused with "worst" mind you). The surprise ending is pretty funny too as it finally gives the Scotsman a fair come-uppance.Perhaps the most interesting thing about this short is its animation. Despite being released in 1948, the cartoon both looks and sounds more like a 1950s short. By contrast, later shorts like High Diving Hare and Rebel Rabbit look and feel more like 1940s shorts. This just goes to show how ahead of his time Chuck Jones really was as his less cinematic style of animation was in the 70s and 80s imitated by almost every cartoonist in one way or another.Overall, this is a fairly average Bugs Bunny cartoon. But understand that an average Bugs cartoon is still better than a top cartoon with most other cartoon characters. That alone makes it well worth watching.

Bugs Bunny takes another one of his famous wrong turns and ends up in Scotland, where he mistakes MacRory the Scotsman playing the bagpipes as a monster attacking an old woman and promptly destroys said bagpipes thus infuriating MacRory who challenges Bugs to a game of golf in this Chuck Jones Directed and Michael Maltese written Looney Tunes short. I'm somewhat dissapointed with this short, not because it's bad in any way, just because when I usually catch this writer/director team (either together or on their own), I'm treated to something very special and this short let me down. This cartoon is the eleventh short on disk 1 of the 'Loony Tunes Golden Collection'. My Grade: B-
