Depending on which way you come up, but assuming from the lakes you'll take the most obvious route, the Kelpies will be rather out of your way. Worth an overnight stop and combining with Stirling Castle and the monument to the Bruce of course.
Stop off at Gretna might also be worth it, lunch is a good time.
On skye itself, Portree isn't that exciting, but heading to any of the lochs or into the Cuillins will be rewarding but I prefer to head right to the Uig end of Skye and the Old Man of Storr etc. Gets VERY busy in season, go early or late in day and you'll still be surrounded by other photographers (I'm blaming Outlander).
Don't miss the red cuillin, not as spectacular as the black cuillin but still worth an effort in warm late afternoon sunshine. For wildlife, you may get both Sea and Golden Eagles, Kylekin for Sea Eagles as there is a good hide (pricey though).
Let me know your route and I will send you off into some other bits that suit. Also let me know if you're camping! I have some does and don'ts that might help maximise your chances of good evening shots and at least trying to avoid the midges.
