The Hairy Coo Launches New Whisky Distillery and Loch Ness Tour for 2025

The Hairy Coo has announced the launch of a new one-day tour from Edinburgh, combining two of Scotland’s most iconic attractions: whisky distilleries and Loch Ness.

Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom, January 15, 2025 — The Hairy Coo has announced the launch of a new one-day tour from Edinburgh, combining two of Scotland’s most iconic attractions: whisky distilleries and Loch Ness. The 1-Day Whisky, Scottish Highlands, Glencoe and Loch Ness Tour offers visitors the chance to explore some of Scotland’s most celebrated landmarks and landscapes in a single day.

This new itinerary caters to two of the most popular reasons tourists visit Scotland: the search for the legendary Loch Ness Monster and the exploration of Scotland’s world-renowned whisky heritage. The Hairy Coo developed the tour to bring these highlights together in one immersive experience.

Scottish whisky, one of the nation’s most famous exports, plays a central role in the tour. Visitors will learn about whisky production, its history, and enjoy tastings of single malt whiskies at a working distillery.

Sarah Jamieson, The Hairy Coo’s Public Relations Manager, expressed confidence that the tour will be popular with anyone who wants to visit the Scottish Highlands in just 1 day while staying in Edinburgh: 

“This tour is perfect for anyone who wants to visit Loch Ness, the Scottish Highlands and Glencoe, see iconic sites such as the Forth Rail Bridge and Stirling Castle and learn about the history and making of whisky. It will be a busy day but if your time is limited, we believe we are offering our guests a unique opportunity to experience the best of Scotland’s natural beauty and cultural heritage. This is the first time since 2020 that we’ve been able to bring these 2 experiences together, making it a truly special return to one of our most sought-after itineraries”.
