Robert Hall, a Glasgow vagrant known as Rab Ha', was famous for his enormous capacity for eating. He often made money for himself by accepting bets on the amount of food that he could consume. On one occasion he demolished an entire calf, which had been baked into pies. He was said to have emerged victorious against the Yorkshire Pudding in an eating competition held at the Saracen's Head inn. Rab Ha' died in a hayloft in Hutchesontown in 1843.
