hi there,

I would suggest a tour as a great way to see Edinburgh, Oban, Isle of Skye, Isle of Mull, and the Speyside and Highlands regions but since you'll be driving your own car, I can suggest places to see in those areas as well as accommodation:

- Edinburgh you can visit the Edinburgh Castle or take a panoramic city tour by car.

- Loch Lomond - Oban you can stop off at Luss to visit the Thistle Bagpipe Works. Continue driving west and stop for lunch at the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar to enjoy some of the fresh Scottish produce before heading through Inveraray visiting the castle and jail.

- Isles of Mull, you can enjoy a tour of the isles by boat as it is the best way to enjoy the beautiful island of Mull.

- Glencoe - Isle of Skye you can explore the lovely landscape and onto Fort William set in the shadow of Ben Nevis, Britain's highest mountain. Take the road to Kyle and take the bridge to explore Skye, the largest and most scenic of the Hebridean Islands.

- Speyside - Perthshire you can visit the Battlefield of Culloden and Clava Cairns, which date back to the 3rd millennium BC. Taking the Speyside route explore some of the Malt Whisky Trail. The Speyside area is home to more than half of all the country's distilleries plus the coopers who repair the oak casks each year.

- Highlands - Sutherland, you can head for the Kessock Bridge and the Black Isle and explore the area. Continue north visiting Dunrobin Castle and Gardens where you can enjoy a display of the ancient sport of falconry in the gardens of the castle.

-Loch Ness - Inverness you can stroll by along the shores of Loch Lochy and Loch Ness via Urquhart Castle.

- Dumfries is the biggest town in south west Scotland and the capital of Dumfries and Galloway region and offers many attractions such as fine museums, cultural societies and events, cafes and bars, as well as the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the historic interest of such an ancient and significant settlement.

Glencairn Villa Bed and Beakfast is situated in the town centre location and has easy access to Dumfries museums. Prices start at £22 per person

Happy travels!
