For our "summer holiday" this year around the end of June, rather than driving to the alps as usual, the wife and I are considering a trip to Scotland, looking for some general advice really as I'm aware there are plenty of members who live there or are familiar with the region., and neither of us have ever been.
So, any recommendations where to go? We've potentially got two weeks including driving there from the South West. At the moment we're thinking west coast maybe somewhere around Glencoe. We would rather avoid the touristy areas, we're both pretty active and want to be outdoors as much as possible in among the mountains (and if I could also get to some great photo spots that would be a bonus).
Accommodation would probably be a mix of Air BnB and camping so we're pretty flexible and happy to travel around a bit, maybe 2-3 nights per location or a good base where we can travel each day if needed.
Also what can we expect from the weather that time of year and what are the temps like? I have looked it up but first hand experience is better than looking at seasonal averages.
Thanks in advance.
(I didn't put this in the Talk Locations sub-forum as it isn't a photography trip per se, but if the mods want to move it there that's fine)
