Is this realistic? is it too much?
Sadly, completely unrealistic. To get from Edingburgh just to Urquart then back would take you all day with zero time to spend there. You have to remember where you are, you will struggle to get over 40mph on these roads and if you get stuck behind people it can be even worse. If you want to visit Loch Ness properly I'd plan to get close and stay overnight then spend time there and head back after. That's two days just for Loch Ness only.

Of course it's unrealistic. Even if all the sights mentioned had been right next to each other, it would have been unrealistic - unless by "seeing" they mean "from the car window while driving by", because you'd need time to go around and explore the places as well. And as for the trip out to the Skye Islands...
I suspect he's pulling our collective legs there. Or at least, I hope he is.
Probably thinking of spending the entire weekend in a pub!

Well, not collective legs, not planning to spend the weekend in a pub... Just made a mistake writing... I arrive Edinburgh on Friday from week 1 and leave the Sunday from week 2.
Now that you know this... could you please answer it again?
I'm really interested in opinions from people who knows that area...
Thanks!

That makes a LOT more sense. Thank you for the clarification!

Bit of a lame suggestion but I like the Hairy Cows in the Highlands, if you have time take a train journey to the Kyle of Loach Alsh spelt wrongly...

You're right, sometimes it just reflows out of me.

I guess I'll have to iron it out myself.

I'm board with trying to keep track of this. But, ohm my, resistance is futile - wire we even trying when IC you keep chipping away. In short, LEDs give it a rest.

He should have no trouble getting it, either, seeing as how he got it all down in writing ... ah, potential snag ...
