I've already been to Edinburgh several times and explored the city. This time I'm flying in for a work trip and would like to explore some places outside of Edinburgh, perhaps the highlands and wanted to get some advice here. I land at Edinbrugh airport 10am on Saturday May 4th, and I need to be back in Edinburgh city for dinner on Monday May 6th. So that's the timeframe I'm working with
I was thinking of renting a car at the airport and driving to the Highlands, but I'm not sure exactly where to. I'm not a whisky person, castles are interesting, but not a must-see as I've already seen Edinburgh castle. I guess I'm looking for stunning natural scenery and some light hiking. Do I have enough time to be able to do this, and what places would you recommend? Monday May 6th appears to be a bank holiday, so not sure if that will complicate plans since it may be a busy weekend?
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
