  Sorry I can't do links, but have a look at the website Undiscovered Scotland, I find this invaluable. Lots of detail on all areas in Scotland.

Why stay at both Bunree and North Ledaig they are quite close to together only an hour if that apart.

Dont forget the Tablet it is a must if you like fudge but get the Loose Tablet that is weighed out DO NOT GET THE STUFF IN PACKETS  that is the crap for numpty tourist and taste's nothing like Tablet.

Real tablet is  yummy ymmy yummy ps the life span of tablet is a few days (goes off very quick)

Try white pudding also.

Hi Everyone

Thanks for all your tips and advice.  I think I've got a bit of work to do before we set off.  Planning what we can fit in.

I'll look at all the links and go from there!!

Can I suggest that you leave Killin for another year and from Edinburgh you travel up the east coast and around to Culloden and Inverness.

Being a West Coaster I am loathed to promote the East Coast but there really are some very beautiful places over there and it would be a shame to miss all of these just to go to Killin, nice as that place also is.

Up the east and back down the west will give you a fair idea of what you can come back and explore another time.

To give you a more general idea of a Lobey Touring Timetable.

2 years ago we "toured" the Western Isles from the Butt of Lewis, furthest north, to Vatersay, furthest south. That is 140 miles by road and ferry.

Others do it in one day but we took 27 days. Even then we missed some bits and will have to go back eventually.

No matter how long you tour here for, there will always be parts you will just have to return to and other parts that you have still to see.

So do your tour and then come back next year and see some more.

Thanks everyone for all your thoughts and ideas.  I agree with Lobeydosser I think we'll just have to do our tour, try to fit in as much as poss and return again and probably again!!  At least we've got a rough plan which may alter whilst we're on the road. 

We are members of the National Trust so when in Edinburgh intend to call into the NT shop and pick up a guide to the Scottish sites.

Have a look at THIS website and you may be able to catch a Highland Games in your tour. This would be an excellent day out.
