What To Expect
Balquhidder
After departing Edinburgh you’ll head north through the central belt of the country. Your guide will entertain by laying the foundations of many a story about Scotland’s past heroes like William Wallace and Robert the Bruce who made this area of Scotland their own. You will spot royal palaces, giant mythical Kelpies and the ancient stronghold of Stirling Castle. Arriving at our first stop of the day, surrounded by the verdant hills of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National park. Stretch your legs, enjoy a coffee or some baked goods and refresh before rejoining the bus to continue north. Please note, during the winter season we stop at Callander instead of Balquehidder.
Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park
As we travel through the ‘Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park’ our bus weaves through hills, mountains and Glens. These remote places were once inhabited by Highland Clans, not to mention Scotland’s most famous outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor, whom some consider The Scottish Robin Hood. Look out across the landscape and picture what it was like as you hear the remarkable bloodthirsty stories of betrayal and revenge as told by your guide. If we happen to spot some of our famous ‘Hairy Highland Coos’, we might stop for a selfie.

5.00Took a day tour on Christmas Eve. Our driver Paul S did a great job of navigating holiday closures to get as much out of our day as possible. He was hospitable, very funny and full of random history/facts about Scotland. I would recommend this tour and company to anyone.

5.00The driver David was absolutely phenomenal his wealth of knowledge was exactly what we were looking for when booking. It’s just a shame some of the bus seemed to have a different idea of a guided tour and chose to talk over David constantly. Barring that it was a great way to experience Scotland, especially for someone visiting like we are.
I would highly recommend Hairy Coo Tours to anyone visiting Scotland.

5.00Martin has to be the best tour guide Hairy Coo has. He is knowledgeable, fun, and made sure we all had a great time! He managed to get us to extra viewpoints for photos. His stories were funny which entices the kids to listen. Myself and my daughter sure hope we get lucky with more tour guides like Martin. He has set the bar pretty high. Give our driver Martin 5✨✨✨✨✨
