I'm so hoping someone can help me set my itinerary. My husband and I will be travel to Great Britain for our first ever trip abroad. We are both young, me in my late 20s, and he in his early 30s, and enjoy a plethora of activities (hiking, museums, estates, architecture, food, outdoors). We plan to fly into Glasgow and depart from London and are traveling Sept. 8th - 19th (with the 8th and 19th being travel days). My husband travels often for work and has racked up a huge amount of points which make a rental car from Enterprise free for the entire trip. Below is our planned itinerary thus far:
Sept. 8, 2017: Depart from Baltimore on flight to Glasgow.
Sept. 9, 2017: Arrive Glasgow, pick up rental car.
(Loch Lomond, Glencoe)
Stay in Fort William for 1 night.
Sept. 10, 2017: Depart Fort William, head to Inverness.
(Eilean Donan Castle, Loch Ness, Urquhart Castle)
Stay in Inverness for 1 night.
Sept. 11, 2017: Inverness to St. Andrews
(Culloden Battefield, Dunrobin Castle)
Stay in St. Andrews
Sept. 12, 2017: St. Andrews to ?
-Husband golfing at St. Andrews. This is a must and cannot be sacrificed, he is a HUGE golfer and St. Andrews is his pilgrimage.
Sept. 13, 2017: ?
Sept. 14, 2017: ?
Sept. 15, 2017: Arrive London (would like to get rid of car rental prior to arriving in London due to heavy traffic, could we take train from someplace? Rental car is from Enterprise and must be returned to Enterprise location.)

Sept. 17, 2017: London
Sept. 18, 2017: London
Sept. 19, 2017: Depart London early AM to Baltimore, US
I'm interested in seeing Chatsworth, do you think there is an easy way to somehow get from St. Andrews to Chatsworth then down to London?
I'm also a huge literary fan, love Jane Austin and Beatrix Potter, would Bath or Lake District be do-able?
