I have been before but didn't have much time on the island, or a camera! There must be some classic photo opportunities but I won't have a lot of time to search for them. I have to get Christopher back in time to go to Turkey with his Mum next week.
Any suggestions welcome. I am planning to visit the Falkirk Wheel, a concession to Christopher:

The Explorers Garden at Pitlochry:

And the Cluny House Gardens:

I am hoping for good light at Eilean Donan Castle, the classic Scottish icon:

Will be taking the D3 and D200-IR and a small assortment of lenses, not forgetting a nice heavy tripod! Do I take the 300 f2.8???
I am bound to have a golden opportunity to use it if I don't take it... OTOH I want to travel light.
I think Jan Crane is the best person to advise you on the Isles these days. It's many years since I went Munro bagging in the Cullins. The Quiraing is a well used area for movies due to its spectacular landscape. Claigan beach for coral collecting!
When you go to the Falkirk wheel go and see the Kelpies just across town ...brilliant structures! http://www.thehelix.co.uk/things-to-do/the-kelpies/
Ps Don't bother about a boat ride on the Falkirk wheel, by the way. It's just up ...turn around... and down... with a noisy commentary and very little to see.
