Whitelake is Enter the Haggis's sixth studio album. It was released in October 2011, and was paid for entirely by Enter The Haggis's fans, through a fundraiser called the Haggis Helper.

The album exhibits a highly matured sound that has broken somewhat away from their Celtic rock roots, but still incorporates influences from various kinds of folk music. There is a wide variety of instruments used on the album, including the trumpet, banjo, bagpipes and cello.
