Tour Description
The road to Glencoe is as spectacular as the glen itself. Leaving the city behind, we trade urban energy for the serenity of the Highlands. There is a good spell of travelling to be done, but we break up the journey with the true "Local Legend" touch.
We’ll stop at beautiful hidden waterfalls, visit our world-famous (and notoriously gentle) Highland Cows (Hairy Coos), and navigate scenic backroads that larger tour buses simply cannot reach enjoying utterly spectacular scenery.
The spirit of this private Glencoe day trip will remain with you long after we return.

Tour Variations
In the Highlands, the weather and the roads have stories of their own.

A tour variation often becomes a highlight, offering us the chance to showcase even more marvelous "secret gems" of the Highlands. If we take the long road home, it just means more time for stories and more memories made.
