Be prepared for the most wonderful views in the UK (and that comes
from a *Welshman* !). That applies particularly in the north west
(Fort William, Iona, Skye). I do suggest you take a 24 or 21mm if you
have, or can borrow, one together with a polariser. Having said that
we're having some very unusual and unseasonal weather in the UK at
this time, so there may not be many blue skies! Even so, the
"atmosphere" of angry Scottish skies can be quite stunning. If you
have any choice, try to use the "back road" from Fort William to
Inverness (turn onto the B862 road at Fort Augustus).
As someone else posted, you might get bitten by the infamous Scottish
"midgies", especially in the west, so insect repellant would be a good
idea.
Hope you have a great time in a lovely country.
