I'm moving this to "Other Music Content" or nobody will see it. Call it a "Scottish Music exploration road trip." 😉

At least when it’s raining it keeps the midges down…
Are you going on the 2nd July ?
Weather forecast looks good to me. It’s always very localised in Scotland.
Don't live in Scotland but we go there once or twice a year for holidays and never had a holiday spoilt by the weather yet,
The comment about midges is worth listening to, summer is not an ideal time to visit, earlier or later is better when the midges have gone.
My view on the places you have mentioned…
Edinburgh, fantastic place, great location, museums, art galleries etc.
Fort William, not a lot there, Ben Nevis is the obvious one but can be bleak in bad weather. The Caledonian canal is good.
Isle of Skye, not my favourite island but depends on the weather a lot. if you are a vigorous walker / climber then it’s fantastic. The coral beaches in the north are worth visiting.
Inverness is Ok, a bit further north the Black Isle is good, Chanonry Point is one of the best places in Britain to see dolphins, they come right up to the shore, Cromarty is an odd place but worth a visit, Dunrobin castle is a bit further north but an amazing setting.
If you know more about your route / itinerary I’m happy to suggest places.
lol thanks :-)
will try make some “nessie” track on my stop at Loch Ness
itinerary is basically done, all hotels on the road booked, so not much room for tweaks - but thanks for little review anyway
wife is pretty stressed that entire vacation will be spoiled by nonstop rain but i hope we will be just lucky
I second @GeoTony 's comments.
@dendy Just to add, avoid the centre of Edinburgh as much as you can in high season because it's absolutely heaving. I came through there today on my way to the train station to come back south, and the buses got stuck and it was quicker to get off and walk. That is unusual but the crowds and the bustle are the opposite of the calm windswept glens that give rise to much of @GeoTony's haunting soundscapes
The West Coast is often secluded, and pictureqsue, but go prepared for wet weather, due to Gulf Stream. Oban harbour sells the best fresh seafood, cooked and ready to eat! Best fish and chips (aka "a fish supper") either in Fort William or Portknockie on the Murray Firth IMHO but so many good places to sample, esp on the coast.
Beware of walking at the water's edge near sundown, you'll get absolutely eaten alive. The worst midgies I ever encountered were at Dunnet Head, the most northerly point on the Scottish mainland. It was a grey, grey misty day (as we say) and when I got out the car it felt like someone had thrown a bucket of glue over my face followed by a bucket of midgies.
Some of that is possibly away off your trail, but I hope have a smashing time! Maybe post some pictures and we'll try to guess where they were taken
It’s beautiful, whatever the weather. My favourite place! You’ll love it 😊
Change the plan and do a pub crawl instead of trekking?
The thing is too, nonstop rain is very very unlikely to be nonstop rain of the kind you're thinking of. I say this as someone from Northern Ireland, where the weather is similarly changeable to Scotland. It probably means that there will be regular showers. In that case there might also be lots of sun in between, and beautiful skies. If you have good rainproof clothes and boots etc, you might be fine. I'd say it depends more on your wife's attitude by the sound of it. Do you think she'll quickly decide that the trip is ruined if it's raining while you're walking? If so, you should probably abandon ship before embarking....
About midgees, as well call midges, yes they're horrific little shits. But you can repel them with deet and similar sprays. Get some of that stuff and you'll be grand.
I’m ready
Thanks !
That is what i wanted to hear .. sounds totally OK .. We are ok wih that kind of weather - sometimes rain, sometimes sun .. I was just afraid of literally nonstop rain apocalypse 24/7 :-)
It’s infinite times better to have that kind of weather than nonstop 38 degrees hell like is during entire summer here in western Slovakia :-)))
Absolutely zero doubt about that, dreaming about visiting Scotland for my entire life, finally the time has come.
Pretty sure it'll be fine as long as you're OK with that, have fun!
Go for it! Local resident (Forres) speaking here. After two bone dry summers with hay shortages (We’ve got a pony), we do have the right mix of warm weather, sun and rain this year. Summer flowers everywhere and nature is lush and green.
I would be more concerned about midges but I see you are prepared, and ticks (Lyme disease).
If you plan to travel with a motor home, then be careful on single track roads with passing places. Specially people who rent large motor homes, have no clue about the Highway Code and cannot properly manoeuvre the vehicle cause a lot of problems.
Thanks !
No motor home, just small Toyota CHR
Enjoy your trip! Is your CHR an EV? Then be aware of charge points. Last year we drove up to Orkney with our Nissan Leaf. It was a bit of an adventure with dirty, broken or unreliable chargers. The worst one failed to charge and didn’t release the cable - and we had to catch the ferry. Support had to restart the charger remotely.
I’m from Scotland - Forfar. The weather is absolutely fine and normal. We had a few days there where the whole of the UK had thunderstorms but that was heatwave related and highly unusual. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else, it’s great. You will have the best time.
PS don’t worry.. if it does rain you will dry out again 😀
it’s hybrid, not the plug-in one, so best of two worlds :-)
👍👍👍
I live near Glasgow. It rains a lot here. Weather is quite unpredictable and the weather forecast is seldom that accurate even a few hours ahead.
If you are going hiking I suggest good strong waterproof boots and a proper midge net. Plan your walks carefully and let folks know where you are going and when you are likely to be back. Phone reception in the hills can be quite sketchy so a physical map might be helpful.
Here is a midge forecast website https://www.smidgeup.com/midge-forecast/
Good luck Dendy.
Go Glasgow and the Highlands all the way
that is pretty handy , thanks
When I first went to Edinburgh I didn’t realise it was near the sea (yes I am an idiot) !
The walk down to the coast was lovely and now they have the Royal Yacht Britannia which Google tells me is worth visiting.
For me the highlight was the Royal Botanic Gardens (l’m into plants) , which has one of the best collections of plants in the world.
Edinburgh is a great place to visit. The castle is expensive but worth it.
I know the area well. I had family in Finechty and Forres until a few years ago, and have visited the area many times (and sampled the chippies in Fochabers, Cullen and Portknockie quite recently)
