Land Glasgow, head northwest. Islands and inlets and all sorts.
Tighnabruich (sp?) is heavenly. Once you're around those parts it takes rather a long time to get anywhere else; but if you're not in a rush it's a treat!
I know the Eastern side better. Cooler, more rugged, bleaker. Stirling is spectacular, the Trossachs just behind are easy and rewarding climbing. That's about an hour and a half north of both Glasgow and Edinburgh.
On your way into the capital, be sure to take a look at the Forth Rail Bridge.
Edinburgh's amazing. Walking along Prince's St. there's a huge drop to one side, with the castle perched on top of one rugged set of rocks just beyond. If you're not tired of walking, take a hike up Arthur's Seat for quite the best views of the cityscape and river beyond.
Excellent bars all over the city, esp. Grassmarket area, with long opening hours. Have fun!
