I see that **inshaala** is considering an excursion to,

http://www.northwest-highlands-geopark.org.uk/index.html 

It looks interesting ... rocks 3,000 million years old ... quite a respectable age ... very remote. 

I noticed that MrsRatbag mentioned,

Oban

Ahhhhhh ... one of my favorite Single Malt Scotch ... along with Talisker, Lagavulin, ... and some others, as well. 

I see that inshaala also invited suggestions,

Got any tips?

The park itself ... and nearby areas will certainly offer a unique way of seeing how Nature has molded and reshaped our planet.  Here in the USA, sites that come to mind include the Grand Canyon, Brice, Canyon Lands, the Wind River, ...

You'll want to capture a sense of age (skree or talus at the base of a great clif), a sense of scale (lichen earning a meger living on the side of a boulder) as well as the sweep of the landscape ... and the unending battle between rock and wave.  Listening to the Hebrides Overture (also known as Fingal's Cave), music by Felix Mendelssohn, would be a plus. 

While you are on that trip, you might also want to experience some of the evidence of the earliest human habitation since the most recent Ice Age ... Standing Stones: Neolithic Monumental Art.  In all of the world, these structures are unique to the British Isles and Northern Europe. 

According to the map image, there are at least 3 dozen significant sites in and around Inverness that you could visit.  As a reference, I used: Burl, Aubrey; "A Guide to the Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland, and Brittany"; ISBN: 0-300-06331-8.  On amazon:  Stone Circles of the British Isles (Hardcover); "A Guide to the Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland, and Brittany" (please ignore the incorrect cover image for this one -- it's actually the same edition as the one I own).  These are also available on amazon UK, "Guide to Stone Circles ...".
