Overview

See some of our beloved (and rare) 'Hairy Coos'. This now rare, and difficult to find, breed has become an iconic symbol of Scotland. Visit the 12th century Glasgow Cathedral and learn about its incredible history. Explore the 19th century Glasgow Necropolis, enjoying the beautiful views over the city. Visit the museum of religious art and the oldest surviving house in Glasgow, built in the 15th century. We will then take you on a tour of the Glasgow Murals - huge life-like paintings hidden around the city centre of Glasgow. Leaving the city, we will then take you to the Kelpies - the largest horse statues in the world. Finally, we will stop over at Midhope Castle, a.k.a. 'Lallybroch' in the famous TV series Outlander.
