If you have a car but limited time, a really good day's drive would be to explore Argyll, arguably the most scenic of the Scottish regions.
From Glasgow, take the A82 up the west side of Loch Lomond to Arrochar, then the A83 over the Rest and Be Thankful to Inverary and then Crinan, up north through Oban (home to one of the smallest and oldest distilleries), and then back over the A85 past Taynuilt and back via Tyndrum and Crianlarich

About 5-6 hours driving, loads of lovely towns and villages, and you'll get to see an epic list of Scottish "highland" scenery (it's technically not the Highlands, but in reality it looks more like the stereotypical Scottish Highlands than the Highlands themselves, and in most cases when the Highlands turn up in films it was actually shot somewhere in Argyll). You'll literally want to get out and stare at the view every few miles
If you stay over somewhere on the way, you could extend the loop further North to take in Glencoe. Plus if you give yourself time, literally any little detour off the coastal route will take you somewhere spectacular. |
