Our Wee Red Buses

28 Aug

26th August 2026 - Our wee red buses have always been popular (and easy to spot) but it was only by chance our first mini bus was red. Most mini buses are white (yawn) but back in 2001 I travelled to Preston in the north of England to look for my first bus. One mini bus stood out, literally. Low mileage, 'very clean' and bright red. Sold. As I drove it back to Edinburgh my friend announced "it's the wee red bus!". And so it came to pass...

For a short period we operated with larger mini coaches but quickly realised the error of our ways and quickly reverted to wee red buses (cute). Small groups are a fantastic way to travel around Scotland, make new pals, reduce your environmental footprint and fit in extra photo stops. All in the company of one of our wonderful 5-star reviewed driver/guides.

Happy days on the Wee Red Bus!!
