Loch Ness, Glencoe and the Highlands Small Group Day Trip from Edinburgh

Duration: 11 hours 30 minutes (approx.)

From USD $62.14

Take the high road to the Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness on a small group day trip from Edinburgh. You'll travel through beautiful Glencoe, admire the spectacular Highlands and spend time at Scotland's famous Loch Ness - an absolute must on any visit to Scotland!

With a maximum group size of 16 passengers, you are sure to have a memorable and personal experience on this special day trip to the Scottish Highlands. Traveling in a small group means you can reach out-of-the-way places to discover the real Scotland!

Leaving Edinburgh, you'll pass Linlithgow Palace (birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots), Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument, to reach the most dramatic of all Highland glens, Glencoe. This area is steeped in history, and you will hear the truth about the infamous 1692 massacre of Clan MacDonald.
   Journeying through Fort William, site of the military post built during the Jacobite Rebellions in the 18th century, you'll continue up the Great Glen, between Fort William and Inverness.
   After lunch at Fort Augustus on the shores of Loch Ness, you have the option of taking an hour-long cruise on the loch (not included). The boat has a sonar system, so if Nessie is around you will not miss her! (Operational from Easter to end October.)
   Back on the road, you'll stop at Spean Bridge before heading through the Cairngorms National Park, Craig Meagaidh and along the shores of Loch Laggan, where the TV series Monarch of the Glen was filmed. Continuing over the Drummochter Summit, where herds of red deer often graze, you'll visit the Victorian town of Pitlochry, the final stop for the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Highland Lochs, Glens and Whisky Small Group Day Trip from Edinburgh

Duration: 9 hours (approx.)

From USD $54.37

Fancy sampling a wee dram o' whisky and exploring the rugged landscape of the Scottish Highlands? Combine the two on a small-group day trip from Edinburgh by minivan, and discover the real taste of Scotland! With a maximum group size of 16 passengers, you are sure to have a memorable and personal experience on this special full-day excursion.

Your day trip takes you across the famous Forth Road Bridge, giving you a great view of the spectacular Forth Rail Bridge, until recently the longest cantilever bridge in the world.
  

 

 
  Cross the Highland boundary faultline and the scenery changes from the rolling farmland of the Lowlands to the forested hills and mountains of the Scottish Highlands. This thick forest is the very same mentioned in Shakespeare's Macbeth as "Birnam Wood". One part of the wood is especially beautiful - the Hermitage, and this is where you will take a walk. Surrounded by thick forest, the River Braan crashes over spectacular waterfalls. This is a migratory route for Salmon, and they can often be seen trying to leap the falls.

   Follow the wide valley of the River Tay, the longest river in Scotland with the greatest flow of water of any river in Britain. Stop in Pitlochry for lunch (own expense) and take the opportunity to visit a Whisky Distillery or the dam where salmon leap in summer.
   Continue to Killiecrankie and the Queen's View where on a clear day the view stretches from Loch Tummel to Schiehallion and beyond to the hills of Glencoe. Drive over the hills to Fortingal where the Fortingal Yew tree is the oldest living organism is Europe. The village is the legendary birthplace of Pontius Pilate. Next you'll head along the shores of Loch Tay in the shadow of Ben Lawers. At the head of the loch is Killin, with the wonderful falls of Dochart in the heart of the town.
   After a short stop, continue over the Braes of Balquhidder, the final resting place of Highland outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor.
   The Scottish Highlands and Islands are Europe's last great wilderness! This personalized tour is as close as you can get to touring in your own car, with the added benefit of gaining intimate knowledge of Scotland. Traveling in a small group means you can take lots of stops and reach "out of the way" places, giving you more time off the bus to discover the real Scotland.

 

  The Hairy Coo thrives on a simple concept; that everyone should be able to discover the beautiful Scottish Highlands. That’s why we have pioneered Scotland’s only FREE Highland Day Tour. So; the obvious question is, what’s the catch? –

Put simply, we work on a TIPS-ONLY basis. With a combined touring experience of 11 years, we saw apathy in the tour industry and wanted to offer our guests an alternative. This allows people to decide how much the tour is worth to them, rather than being dictated to. As soon as a 'traditional' tour company have a passenger’s money, it makes no difference whether they deliver a great tour or not.
We're handing the power back to you; the customer, and this guarantees the highest quality of tour possible. We believe that if money is given, it should be in direct proportion to the quality of the tour and the level of customer service provided. All we ask is that everyone in your group can speak and some understand English. No catch!

The tour runs on; Mondays, Tuesdays, (NOT Wednesdays), Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between the months of April and October.

Highlights include; the world famous Forth Bridge, Scotland's ONLY Lake, the Lake of Menteith, Lunch in the lovely Highland village of Aberfoyle, The Lochs, Mountains and Glens of the beautiful Trossachs, Our exclusive; top-secret, Hairy Coo Off-Road Safari, Hamish the Hairy Coo at Kilmahog, Monty Python's Doune Castle (with optional tour), views of Stirling Castle and The Wallace Monument before a final stop at The Falkirk Wheel, the world's only boat lift and an engineering marvel.
