In association with Haggis Adventures, the longest running backpacker tour company in the UK, VisitScotland.com are able to offer you an experience of a lifetime in the Scottish Highlands.

Sleep in a haunted Highland castle; enjoy a boat trip on mysterious Loch Ness; visit ancient battlefields and castles and hear tales of Scotland; take to the seas, whale watching off the West Coast or just chill on the empty sandy beaches of the Western Isles; soak up the atmosphere and watch the mist swirl around the peaks of dramatic Glencoe; enjoy a few drams of whisky and meet the locals for a night to remember.

With HAGGiS every day is different! Our distinctive yellow buses are as individual as our tours, and just because you're travelling on a budget doesn't mean you have to compromise on safety or comfort. That's why we use Mercedes Benz midi-coaches, the latest models custom-built for touring. Famously yellow and named after our legendary crew, our buses all have eco-friendly (low-emission) engines, BIG windows, BIG sound systems, on board recycling, zones and are ideally suited for your comfort. Perfect for that legendary HAGGiS atmosphere! Probably the most popular backpacker adventures in Scotland! Experience fantastic overnight destinations* on the shores of Loch Ness OR the magnificent Isle of Skye.

Unlike others, we are not tied exclusively to any hostel chain, so are free to select the very best hostels. We choose places packed full of character, everything from rustic cottages and farms to castles and country houses. We only use top quality independent and Youth Hostel Association hostels, mostly 3 and 4 stars. We guarantee dorm bed accommodation on all our tours. All the hostels we use have great facilities, provide free linen, (you don't need a sleeping bag), have top quality self-catering kitchens, security, laundry facilities and comply with the most stringent safety regulations.
