Location Edinburgh, United Kingdom

The Hairy Coo

Embark on a full-day coach tour through the picturesque Scottish Highlands, exploring Loch Ness, Glencoe, and the renowned Trossachs National Park. Enjoy a leisurely lunch in Fort Augustus and opt for an additional boat excursion as part of this enriching journey.



Upon departing from Edinburgh via an air-conditioned luxury coach accommodating up to 57 passengers, travelers embark upon a journey through Scotland's rich historical landscapes. Passing through Stirling Castle, guests are treated to insights into the life of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, alongside tales of the tumultuous battles fought across these ancient grounds.

Proceeding northward, visitors reach the picturesque town of Callander, situated at the base of the Trossachs National Park. Here, they have the opportunity to explore the region while being guided by a knowledgeable local, who shares anecdotes about the notorious Rob Roy MacGregor, the famed Highlander.

Continuing their journey, tourists traverse Loch Lomond and the expansive Trossachs National Park, immersing themselves in the dramatic beauty of this enchanting landscape. In the heart of the Scottish highlands, they encounter the majestic valley of Glencoe, where the tragic events of 1692 are recounted, offering a chilling testament to the region's storied past.

Next, travelers make their way to Fort William, the gateway to Ben Nevis, Britain's highest peak standing at an imposing height of 4,409 feet. This iconic mountain offers breathtaking vistas and serves as a starting point for various outdoor activities and tours. Visitors may also take advantage of an optional one-hour boat cruise along Loch Ness, hoping to catch a glimpse of the elusive Loch Ness Monster.

At the southern edge of Loch Ness lies the charming village of Fort Augustus, known for its numerous amenities including cafes, shops, and restaurants. During their stay here, travelers can enjoy a leisurely lunch amidst the picturesque surroundings of the Caledonian Canal. Following their meal, a scenic walk along the canal provides a serene break before embarking on a half-day exploration of Loch Ness.

Afterwards, the group arrives in the quaint town of Fort Augustus, where they are greeted by a series of attractions including the impressive Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge, offering panoramic views of the Nevis Range. Proceeding deeper into the Cairngorms National Park, the adventurers venture into the "Monarch of the Glen" territory, discovering the rugged beauty of this unique region.

As they ascend towards Loch Laggan, the road climbs gradually above the Grampian Mountains, providing sweeping panoramas of the surrounding countryside. At this crucial junction, travelers cross the Pass of Drumochter, a significant geographical feature carved by the forces of nature during multiple ice ages. Their adventure concludes with a brief detour in the picturesque Victorian town of Pitlochry, followed by the return to Edinburgh city center, expected arrival time around 8:30 PM.
