The Hairy Coo was established in 2010 by two well versed and enthusiastic Scottish tour guides who had a passion of showcasing their home to the rest of the world and proving that Scotland truly is the greatest wee country on Earth.
Basic Information
The Hairy Coo pioneered the first Free Highland Coach Tour in the world and for years maintained the company by contributing all tips and donations toward running the tour the following day, and the day after, and the day after that. After realising they had the full support of returning visitors, they took the leap to fully invest in the company and began their first paid tour to Loch Ness. Since then, they have welcomed over 200,000 adventurers and have grown to add tours that visit all corners of the country, spanning 1-5 days.
