Took the tour today with Donald. He is extremely knowledgable with local history, funny, kind, helpful and an all around great guide. Bus holds 20 something so this tour seems more personal than the BIG bus tours. You simply tip what you think the tour is worth which is a genius business plan. He took us to so many beautiful...

Donald is co-owner of the Hairy Coo tour company, and was our guide. He put in a really long day, speaking almost non-stop from 8:30 to 6:15. Really deep knowledge of Scottish history, we really appreciated his light-hearted yet detailed conversation. Made us all feel welcome. Clearly he loves the coos (in fact, is on a first-name basis with them).... More

Great day in the highlands. Plenty of opportunity to look about, met new friends Hamish and Fiona and offspring ( the hairy coos). Our guide Donald makes it an enjoyable day with lots of local history delivered in an Interesting and humorous way. None of that dry dreary fact on fact stuff. He is a passionate Scotsman. Would recommend this... More

In general, I am not a "tour person" because the groups are often too large, the commentary can be dry, and you feel as if you are being herded from one tourist trap to another. The Hairy Coo tour tries to avoid these problems. The bus is small and holds about 20 people. There is no restroom on board, but... More

The tour was nothing like I had expected. Honestly, I though, like every other tour guide out there, the guide would be boring, but he was just the opposite! He was casual and friendly and told great stories that gave an added depth to the breathtaking scenes and captivated the whole bus, tales of Scotland's rich history. The places we... More

We took two Hairy Coo tours in April and they were the best part of our trip to Edinburgh - they were both so different from any tour we had ever taken before - Russell was so funny and made learning Scottish history so fun and interesting - he took us to places we never would have found on our...

Loved the hairy coo highland tour. Donald was an excellent tour guide! A highland was feeding a hairy coo. Definitely join a hairy coo tour if you want a unique Scottish tour.
