To ask for your left side of Scotland recommendations?

We're thinking of a 10 day road trip to Scotland next month.

We've never been before and so I'm looking for people's recommendations.

We can get free accommodation in major towns/cities so would prefer day trips out from Glashow or Edinburgh.

Also happy to get a few nights accommodation elsewhere.

We like good food, and beautiful views of nature. Gentle walks, maybe couple of hours circular routes really.

Thoughts so far are
Fort William
Loch Lomond
Isle of Skye
Isle of Mull.

Please can people suggest must sees?

Thank you Flowers

I think Scotland may be a little larger than you imagine. I wouldn't fancy a day trip from Glasgow to Skye (10hours round trip) or even Mull (8 hours round trip).
So either take advantage of your free accommodation and forget about the W coast, or do a road trip up the W coast with perhaps 2 or 3 centres.

Glasgow to fort William is a 3 he drive ? Hardly a day trip
Skye is even further

Do you want a road trip or days out from Edinburgh// Glasgow ?

Do you want west coast or does left mean something else ?

My geography teacher heart is bleeding at this...left side😭

Difficult to recommend anywhere because it is all so beautiful!
Just take gallons of midge repellent!
Out of deep curiosity, why did you say left rather than west? Made me giggle as I had to look at my hand to check which coast was left!
