Scotland Adventure

Greeting Forum Members. I'm deep into planning a self-directed 14-day Scotland Adventure for August 2027. Soliciting critique of current plans. Attached link will take you to a Dropbox file of the current itinerary which contains general thoughts on activities for each of the locations we are visiting and the planned driving itineraries between them. Summarizing, we have booked 4 nights in Glasgow, 3 nights in Oban, 3 nights in Inverness, and 4 nights in Edinburgh using each as as base. Lodging has been secured except for Oban as we are waiting for bookings to open for Witchwood. We are flying in and out of Edinburgh for cost reasons and beginning trip in Glasgow. Picking up car in Glasgow on last day of stay to begin driving portion of the agenda. Interested in receiving feedback on the pace, does the itinerary prioritize top locations, does the itinerary offer a good balance of adventure and relaxation. We like to walk and would appreciate recommendations on guides to hire for time in Glasgow, Oban, Inverness, and Edinburgh. For island tours in Oban, looking to prioritize Iona and Staffa over three island tour because of pace but would appreciate other's perspective. For Royal Military Tattoo, would like to know the best area to secure tickets for show viewing with ticket costs somewhere in the range of 200 GBP.
