Isles of Glencoe hotel has some wonderful rooms with views.
It's hard to recommend just one or two bits of Scotland really - it's all good, apart from some areas of the big cities. Like anywhere really…
The only thing I would say is to remember that the distances get big, fast once you get north of Perth, and it can become tedious driving if you try to go too far without working out how much time you need to allow for it.
Don't overlook the south - both the Borders and the Dumfries & Galloway areas have a lot to recommend them and are much closer to England (but except for that ).

Going up and down Loch Ness was as interesting as anything, the visitor centre is a bit naff but quite interesting ( they make a suprising amount of effort to debunk their own myth). A lot of the small towns are nice. Eating out can be quite limited and expensive - small towns where the restaurants are aiming at American golfers so lots of over priced steaks. But fill up on macaroni pies and scotch pies and, well anything made into a pie.
If you want urban than +1 for Edinburgh.
I'm tempted to drive around the very north.
And toying with a mix of camping and hotels depending on the weather.
East Lothian is nice & scenic: beaches, countryside etc.
Pitlochry is lovely, a nice mix of hills etc & distilleries. I recommend the Edradour one- smallest commercial distillers in Scotland. The free tour cost us £80. You've been warned.
I also love the islands- Mull & Iona in particular are beautiful.
You really can't go wrong... Till you cross the border heading south!
Dunoon is a lovely starting place/point to tour the
Scottish countryside....and plenty of trips available on the Worlds last ocean going paddle steamer, the Waverly
if you do go tae Dunoon check out the Blairmore gardens if only tae see the giant Californian redwood trees...if you tip the guide a wink he'll show you Emma Thompson's house nestling in the hills....
One of the great British cities.
I love the transport museum there. Buses, police cars, Edie McCreedie's bus... great stuff.
The museum and art gallery too...what a place.
