It's liable to be cold and wet in October, though you could be surprised!! It depends where you want to start and end, but if you were arriving in Edinburgh, you should spend a couple of days there, then head for the west coast, perhaps via Glencoe to Fort William/Inverness/ and back down the A9 via Aviemore and the Whisky Trail to Edinburgh again. Check the SYHA website if you want hostels, though some may be closed at that time.

For getting around check out National rail Enquires site for a Freedom of Scotland Rover, this will give you a way to get around and includes some bus and ferry routes including to Skye.

there is lots of nice places to see in Scotland, depending on what you like, Glasgow has lots of good shopping areas, going north there is lots of greenery but in October it is very cold in Scotland.
