Cows, education and whiskey - Ross was an excellent tour guide/driver! He made learning history fun while making sure we were safe on the road. We went for the cows but came home with many whiskey bottles.

Rod & Hamish, you made my day. X - We thoroughly enjoyed our Hairy Coos tour, Rod was a fabulous driver/guide, he was really funny & was a font of Scottish knowledge. The tour of Deanston Distillery was really interesting, the stunning scenery on our trip was made all the better by Rod's stories. The obvious highlight for me was visiting Hamish the highland cows & his friends. Rod's went out of his way to ensure we all had a great time despite the rain.

Wonderful tour! - The views were beautiful! Our guide, Colin, was very knowledgeable, personable, and kind. It was a smaller bus, which gave the tour more of a private and exclusive feel! This was a wonderful part of my Scotland trip, and I will definitely book with this company again. I also highly recommend this tour as a great way to get sightseeing in with some fun experiences. Thank you, Colin!

Fun tour - This is a fun tour and a good way to see some of the Scottish countryside from Edinburgh. Our guide, Louise, was entertaining and informative. Just know that other than the distillery, the stops are fairly rushed. Lots of bus time, though scenery is lovely.
