Me and my wife fancy visiting Scotland for 4 or 5 days at the end of May. Never been before, and there's so many attractions and places mentioned on your typical tourism websites that were a bit stuck as to where to begin. We'll be taking the tent, but will probably doing a mix of camping and b&b's as my wife is pregnant. Bikes probably won't be making an appearance either.
Main things we would like to see: Mountains, lochs, a sneaky visit to a distillery and maybe a day in a city, probably Glasgow. Any suggestions as to a road trip itinerary?

Start off at Glasgow then head North towards Oban & Fort William (which is a bit of a dump in itself, but the surrounding area is 'proper Scotland' as far as I'm concerned.) Glencoe is a must, as is the Ardnamurchan peninsular. Head up the Great Glen by Loch Ness & head back south via Aviemore & Pitlochry. Save your distillery tour for Edradour near Pitlochry cos It's the smallest in Scotchland, apparently, but Kilchonan on Islay could be smaller.
Sorted.
