I think how you divide up your time, where to stay and therefore how best to advise you probably needs a little more information.
- Will have a rental car or are you relying on public transport?
- What are your interests? Scenery, hiking, museums, galleries, whisky etc. etc
- Do you want to experience any of Scotland's islands apart from Skye?
- What sort of accommodation are you looking for? Hotels, B&Bs, pods, self catering, etc. etc.
- Do you prefer to base yourself in fewer locations and make day trips, or do you like to change base more frequently?
Just a quick note on placenames. Glasgow, Edinburgh (pronounced Edinbrr), Pitlochry.
If you are not into hiking I'd say 3 nights around Glencoe is way too much. Similarly if you are not big on cities, museums, galleries etc, then a total of 8 nights in Edinburgh and Glasgow is too much.
Happy to help more with a little more information.

Will you have a car?
Btw it’s Edinburgh (pronounced Ed-in-bruh) and Glasgow (pronounced Glaz-go).
