Some of Haig's favourite sites

This page is under construction. In particular, the time is ripe for the re-arrangement of the various links by category, and the inclusion of certain qualifying remarks associated with some of the more notable of the links included. But, for the moment, time allows the mere inclusion of what you see here!
