SCOTLAND IS OUR BACKYARD. WE’VE BEEN LEAPING INTO LOCHS, SINGING SONGS, AND DRINKING DRAMS FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN REMEMBER… TRUTH IS, WE KNOW SCOTLAND BETTER THAN ANYONE, BUT WE ARE FOREVER FINDING OUT MORE.
We know how to give you an unforgettable Scottish experience. Whatever your tipple, our Highland hospitality will shine. We make sure to keep your spirits high and show you the authentic charm of our beloved country and its people.
Scotland’s forests need rewilding! We’ve teamed up with ‘Trees for Life’ since 2011 to restore 600 square miles of native Caledonian Forest. Through the ‘Stay Wild’ project, we’ve raised funds and planted hundreds of trees in our ‘HAGGiS Grove’.
We’re all about protecting the Scotland you’ll fall in love with. Partnering with TreadRight Foundation, we’re going Net Zero with a five-point Climate Action Plan to cut carbon and hit zero emissions by 2050.

Get ready to dive headfirst into Scotland’s wild side on this epic Loch Ness adventure! We’re talking dramatic mountains, monster legends, and scenery so stunning you won’t want to blink. Whether you’re cruising Loch Ness looking for the elusive Nessie, soaking up the history of Glen Coe, or just trying to keep your jaw off the floor as we travel through the Highlands, this is a day packed with stories, sights, and pure Scottish vibes.
Leaving the city buzz of Glasgow behind, we head north into Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, a land of lochs, legends, and eye-popping scenery. From there, it’s straight into the Highlands, with a stop at Glen Coe, famous for its dramatic peaks and haunting past.
As we venture further north, you’ll catch stunning views of the Commando Monument and the Nevis Range, with a glimpse of the mighty Ben Nevis — the tallest mountain in the UK.
Next, we head to Fort Augustus, a charming village on the banks of Loch Ness. Here, you can hop on an optional boat cruise to try your luck spotting Nessie, or just relax along the Caledonian Canal.
On the way back, we’ll take you through the rugged beauty of Cairngorms National Park, wrapping up an unforgettable day before heading back to Glasgow in the evening.
LOCH NESS CRUISE
People can’t describe it. The feeling on that loch is just strange. Is it because it’s enormous? Or because of the monster? Join the Loch Ness Cruise and find out for yourself. There’s sonar and underwater imaging systems to hunt out the beast and an onboard bar for a beverage or coffee for those who don’t believe in it.
Cruise duration is approximately 50mins.
