re: Highlands of Northern Scotland

September is great. Fewer people and the weather is still decent. We flew into Glasgow via Heathrow and took a train for 12 days (6 stops, 2 nights each) up to Isle of Skye then over to Inverness and ended eventually in Edinburgh (direct flight home). I think we also stopped in Pitlochry and Fort William. The trip was a blast. Isle of Skye is a must if you enjoy the outdoors. This was our second trip and we can't wait to go back. First trip was just three days in Edinburgh as part of on overall UK trip.
