If you're not set on the dramatic highlands the borders are really lovely if you're not familiar with them? The Southern Uplands are beautiful, really quiet, some stunning walks and LOADS of history. Charming little market towns and great pubs.

Day 1: Edinburgh to Callander, then Strathyre, Crianlarich, Tyndrum then west through Glencoe and either stay in Glencoe village or head up to Fort William and stay there.
Day 2: Up the Great Glen to Loch Ness, maybe Inverness, then head south east to the Cairngorms.
Day 3: South through Pitlochry, Dunkeld, Scone to Perth. Then a quick blast back to Edinburgh.

Different type of touring - with a car! But suggestions from your knowledgeable people?
We've family visiting from Canada in April and we're going up to Scotland for a few days - three full days to be wherever (five days, but day one is arrive and night in Edinburgh, and day five is get back to Edinburgh and catch the train to London). Ideally not too much driving - few hours a day, be somewhere new each night, and maybe see some awesome sites along the way.
Originally thought of doing a loop via Stornoway, but the ferries are pricey from what I've found. Was in the Trossachs cycling last year, so no need to go there (unless it's on the way).
Thoughts?
