I love that movie Sinsull, 'The Maggie' and 'Whisky Galore' are also worth checking out if you like that kind of thing.

As for you trip, you could do worse than to begin in Glasgow, like the heroine of the movie. It has to be said though, Glasgow's only worth visiting if you like people, history, shops, museums, parks, food, theatres, music and dancing. Be warned though, Glasweigians have a tendancy to be friendly and may well try to engage you in conversation, this is a normal local custom and you'll soon get the hang of it.

If you like myth and legend Kilmartin Glen in Argyll has an embarrassment of riches, more standing stones than you could shake a stick at, not to mention Dunadd, an Iron Age fort where they used to crown the ancient Kings of Dalriada. Steep climb up, but well worth the view.
