Personally, I loved touring Scotland - we took a tiny two-berth caravan, right up the West Coast; drove for a morning, parked up for two nights, to explore by foot and car, then repeated this exercise, taking in Skye and Inverness Finally parked up at Edinburgh (husband was working for a week at the naval base and came back to the caravan each night, while I went into the City and explored) then back down through the middle.
The midges in June/July were a big problem on the West Coast esp around Oban.
Fabulous holiday - ate lots and lots of fabulous fresh fish, kippers and shellfish. Places to visit are too numerous to mention - get an atlas and just follow the roads round choosing places of which you heard. Next time you go - pick places of which you haven't heard.
Be careful of the sun - Pitlochry is the only place in the world where my shoulders blistered in a strappy dress and we went up into the Cairngorms to play in the snow and cool off, then swam in an ice-cold loch at the bottom. Bought trout from a trout farm and cleaned and cooked them within minutes of getting them back to the caravan
Undoubtedly a very memorable holiday.

Use Ullapool as a base and somewhere to get plastered. Park at Corriehallie or Loch a'Braoihn on the Gairloch road, head into over the hill into Strath na Sealga. It's about a three hour walk from Corriehallie, and that's taking it easy. It's one of my favourite places in the world. A long glen that runs down to the sea, large loch halfway up and absolutely surrounded by mountains. It is absolutely stunning. If you don't mind a total lack of facilities (no running water, toilet, electricity etc.) and you've got sleeping bags, roll mats and something to cook on, spend a night at Shenavall Bothy. If you do, post another question when you get back. I want to know if you'll think it's haunted too!

Well I live there. Send me a message if you want more detail but I suggest the following
1. The West Coast
2. Clyde Islands
3. Mull Of Kintyre
4. Oban
5. Up Loch Lomond and head towards Inverary
6. Ayr, Burns Country
I'm into walking and cycling and I love it except for today when it rained.

I'm not sure, there may be something online you can see where there is.
And don't listen to the first two posts... not that they are much help anyway.
