HAGGIS SCOTLAND

HIGHLAND DAY TOURS

Return to Start Page

It's impossible to see all of Scotland in a day, even if you want to! At HAGGiS we believe you shouldn't just see a country, you should experience it! Our trips are all about getting out there into our scenery, history and culture, well off the beaten track to discover what life as a Scot is really all about. We'll show you Scotland's unique and beautiful landscape, enriched with tales of bloody battles, intrigue and romance, from our long and dramatic history. Our entertaining and informative guides share their knowledge with you to create a full and memorable experience.

A HAGGiS Highland Day Tour is also a wonderful opportunity to relax - leave your troubles behind and escape into another world. Our groups are small for maximum comfort and friendly atmosphere. Travelling in the safety of our Mercedes midi-coaches, you can just sit back, relax and let us take care of everything.

Good things should not be rushed, we set off early at 8.15am to fit as much in as possible. We stop regularly along the way, do short walks, take in historic and cultural sites, visit amazing attractions or maybe even choose a stunning location for a picnic lunch.

Tours are flexible and designed to adapt to weather conditions and you, the passenger. If at any time you want to stop for photographs or just soak up the sights, your guide will be happy to oblige.
