The tour price includes the services of a friendly, knowledgeable and experienced driver-guide and transportation on one of our luxury, modern, air-conditioned coaches.
On this incredible tour, we explore the beautiful Scottish Highlands seeing castles, lochs, sculptures and perhaps some ‘Hairy Coos’ along the way.
Departing the historic Royal Mile on an air-conditioned bus (16-34 seats) we head towards the iconic Kelpies, where you can take a close up look at these magnificent sculptures.
We make our way towards Balloch, situated to the south of Loch Lomond’s Bonnie Banks. Here you can explore and take an optional hour-long boat cruise on the loch.
Departing Loch Lomond we head towards the quaint village of Aberfoyle before exploring the picturesque Duke's Pass.
Passing through Callander we make our way to Stirling where you can either take a stroll around the city centre or visit the historic Stirling Castle.
Heading back we stop to catch a glimpse of the famous 3 bridges that span the River Forth before returning to Edinburgh
*Boat cruise and entry to Stirling Castle are paid for on the day and are not included in the price of the tour.

Lastly, just an update in relation to Covid-19 across Scotland and the UK as a whole.
Social distancing is not possible on our coaches and we ask that you please respect your fellow travellers' personal space, and be patient whilst others are boarding and departing the vehicle. Everyone will be coping with the relaxed restrictions at their own pace and we would like to create a friendly environment for everyone on tour.
Masks are no longer compulsory on board our coaches.
We do not require proof of a negative Covid-19 test at the start of your tour or proof of vaccination.
Hand sanitiser will be available and your Driver-Guide will regularly wipe down high contact areas throughout the day(s) you are travelling with us.
Please let us know if you have any questions and we look forward to seeing you soon.
Kind Regards
The Hairy Coo Team
