The route
Glasgow to Loch Lomond on day one, then over Rannoch Moor into Glencoe. Spend a night in Fort William, then take the Road to the Isles and continue to the Isle of Skye for two days before looping back.
What I ate
Cullen skink (smoked haddock soup) on a cold day, fresh langoustines on Skye, a proper Scottish breakfast and cranachan, a dessert of cream, raspberries, honey and toasted oats.
Driving tips
Many Highland roads are single-track with passing places. Pull in to let others pass and never park in them. Fill up whenever you can, as petrol stations get scarce.
