Hairy Coos and Highland Views
Great tour to see a different areas of Scotland as well as the Highland Coos as well as the Deanston Distillery. Our tour guide Mike was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. Highly recommended if you want to see the highland and experience other ares of Scotland if staying in Edinburgh.

Great day trip out of Edinburgh!
We had such a fantastic time on our distillery and coos tour! Our driver, Mike, was great and we loved all the history and information he shared about the places we were passing and stopping at. Was a nice day trip out of Edinburgh - would definitely recommend!

Lovely scenic drive with some hairy coos and history!
This was our second time touring with Hairy Coo company, and both times were exceptional. Mike was our tour guide this round and he was extremely informative, friendly, and full of history! Could not recommend the experience enough.
