How long should/could your tour be?
This is, of course, entirely up to you... however, a few factors may help you decide:

Travel times

-
The Highland and Border regions are generally slow travel areas; the roads often narrow, twisty, busy and utterly stunning! Where online maps suggest an hour of travel time, it's frequently half again. I call them 'Scottish miles'; where you wind your slowly along lochs and glens surrounded by bens.

How long do you have?
Do you want to whizz around seeing as much as possible or do you want to slow down and smell the gorse?
Do you have Scottish connections?
