1-DAY FREE SCOTTISH HIGHLAND TOUR

This tour is where it all began for The Hairy Coo back in 2010.

The ethos for the Free Highland Tour has never changed; everyone, regardless of their background, should have a chance to explore a bit of the Scottish Highlands when visiting our country. Everyone should get a chance to learn some of our unique histories, admire our scenery, take photographs to make your friends jealous and meet some real-life hairy coos.

On our Free Highlands Tour, led by one of our gloriously knowledgeable and experienced Driver Guides, you’ll take in sights including the Unesco listed Forth Bridge, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National park, the magnificent Loch Katrine and the quaint highland settlement of Aberfoyle.

We are convinced that you, like the thousands of other travellers before you, will love your day with us. This is why we do not charge a penny, a nickel, a cent or a dime to reserve a spot on board.

The obvious question you’re probably asking is, “What’s the catch?”

We want our guests to pay what they think the tour was worth to them at the end of their day with us. When doing so, we would ask that you are thoughtful and honest in what you choose to tip. The sole reason this tour has continued to run for ten years is due to the incredible donations our passengers have made – and it often barely makes enough to cover the operational costs. It’s there for people who wouldn’t normally have been able to visit the Highlands and so we ask that if you can afford a regular ticket price, that you donate in line with the industry standard of £40.00-£50.00.

You can also rest assured that while your donation is primarily for running costs, that your driver-guide will also be receiving a portion of the money you give.

If you had a great day (which you will!) We’d hope most people would donate the equivalent sum of cash, or whatever they can afford to their heroic driver-guide as they leave the bus.
