Hi Eddie

Depends what sort of holiday you're on and how compliant your travelling companion(s) are?

I did the west coast back in the 90's. We also did Fort William to Mallaig, stopping at Loch Morar, stayed overnight at Glenfinnan and got a lovely early morning shot of Loch Shiel with an early morning mist. We went to Ardnamurchan, the most westerly point on the Scottish mainland, views of Atlantic Ocean, there is a lighthouse and beach, but it is a long drive and quite remote. There are'nt many stone circles or standing stones in that part of Scotland they seemed to prefer cairns. There is one called Temple Wood but it was too far off our route to visit.  You need to go to Orkney or North East/ East coast for better examples. Travelled further north before heading back home to Dundee. We did a lot of sleeping in the car and woke up in some weird places looking down on some spectacular views enhanced by the low lying mist. We had a few 'Brigadoon' moments. On the whole the west coast involves a lot of travelling on minor roads between places of interest, which if the weather is fine, you don't mind doing. Most people do a 50 mile radius of Fort William and unless you go remote or get to the attractions early or stay late you get those pesky tourists in your shots... and then there's the midgies, horseflies, etc! 

Anyway enjoy, hope you find something to shoot. I'll be heading up to Scotland in three weeks. We have booked a cottage in Meigle so I'm just hoping the weather improves and I get a few good shots around Fife, Perthshire, Tayside and the Glens whilst squeezing in family visits.

Regards

Mike
