Tour 4 - The best of Scotland in a day

26 Aug

12th May 2026 - This was our original day tour from Edinburgh when the first wee red bus (R743 WDB) hit the road in 2001 and I have many happy memories of touring around Highland Perthshire and handing out song sheets at Killiecrankie Gorge for a Jacobite sing-a-long.

It's always been a very popular combination of all the things you would expect to see on a Scottish day trip - scenery, a castle, mountains, lochs and - of course - hairy coos! Forget about soaring eagles or roaring stags... these hairy highlights are our national animal these days!

This Scotland tour is perfect for those who wish to experience Highland scenery at a relaxing pace with plenty of time off the bus to stretch the legs and take photos. Definitely one of our favourite days out.
