Don't worry Caroline, if you don't want to watch the planes doing their manouvres there are other quaint villages dotted along the northern shoreline that are equally picturesque and minus the bombs. There is something fascinating (it's probably a boy thing) about watching low flying aircraft and seeing them create a flash and a bang as their drop their shells. And as long as they're doing it on an uninhabited island, they're not killing anyone... Haha!

I think I'd skip that last section of the trip altogether if that's what awaits me at the end. “There’s even a NATO bombing range just off shore…”

I struggle to understand the whole 2 weeks only vacation thing, but then I guess so do lots of travelling Americans. Thanks Barbara.

Looking forward to seeing week 2. Ah, but most tourists, at least in the US, only have two weeks, so this s a great itinerary. Looking forward to seeing week 2.

As I was writing this I thought to myself that I should make this a 6 week itinerary. I missed so many places out, and as you say Andrew this would be nigh on impossible in a week. Keith, take the chance to see the NW if you can. It's wild, remote and truly stunning. Thanks Keith and Andrew. As I was writing this I thought to myself that I should make this a 6 week itinerary.

I'm fascinated by the trek up to Ullapool. Scotland is my home away from home and yet the NW part is the area I've least explored. Very cool itinerary. I’m fascinated by the trek up to Ullapool.
