3 Day Highlands and Isle of Skye Tour from Edinburgh
This was my second highlands tour but my first with the Hairy Coo and with Ross and while I thought I knew what we’d be getting into, I was not prepared for the absolute hospitality, knowledge, humor, and kindness provided by our guide. Ross was amazing, regaling us with stories of Scottish history in an easy to understand manner while keeping us all interested and entertained. I honestly couldn’t have imagined a better tour or a better guide. I know when I come back to Scotland in the near future, I’ll be reaching out to The Hairy Coo and Ross for a private tour! Would HIGHLY recommend this company and especially, Ross, if you find yourself wanting to go on a highland tour during your time in Scotland!
Exceptional graduation trip to the highlands
My friends and I really enjoyed the 3-day Isle of Skye, Inverness and Highlands tour that we took in April. Louise was an exceptional guide and driver, sharing many interesting fairy tales with us and making the trip even more whimsical with her selection of Scottish music. I really loved how she added some stops that were not part of the itinerary (eg. some waterfall with black rocks) and would take the effort to engage us in conversation. Despite the long journey, Louise always greeted us with a huge smile and even drove around a town a few times to look for a missing passenger. I have been highly recommending this tour to all my non-driver friends as it gives a really good taste of what the Scottish highlands has to offer!

Three day tour from Edinburgh
Three day tour from Edinburgh up to the Isle of Skye with Paul S, our guide and driver. The scenery is spectacular and there were plenty of stops in between the main events to stretch your legs. Paul works incredibly hard and kept us entertained with stories, facts, music and incredibly bad jokes.
If you want a company to book your Scottish adventure The Hairy Coos are fab!
