Opportunities/Locations for "Dark Sky" stargazing in Scotland?

Booked the 13-Day Best of Scotland (10-22 Sept 2023)

I would love to find a location where I can see ALL OF THE STARS IN THE UNIVERSE! And I think my best shot is when we're scheduled to "sleep in a village in the Cairngorms National Park", south of Inverness. While it would be great to attend an event or gathering, I'd be OK with just finding a spot. Not having the capability to travel other than by foot, does anyone have any thoughts about how I could pull this off?

Thanks

Well you wont see ALL the stars in the Universe and you need to be prepared for cloud cover.

When you arrive and meet your tour guide tell them of your wish and ask their guidance.

I’d search the internet: Stargazing in Scotland, Stargazing Cairngorms National Park. Are there Observatories in Scotland? Send inquiries to them.

I’m still on my quest to see the Northern Lights. Do hope you fulfill your wish
