I know this is not exactly kilt related so I hope this is ok in this subforum, though I suppose at least Scottish in nature and I'm sure we will do many kilt related things on the trip.

My fiancée, my self and our son will do taking a trip to Scotland as our honeymoon. It will be sometime after the wedding, as we want to in the spring or summer. We think we realistically have the time and finances to travel for 21 days. My personal desire would be to see more of the Highlands and Islands that I previously have and potentially make it to the Orkneys and Shetlands, but I do not want to rob my fiancée and son of some of the experiences in Glasgow, Stirling and Edinburgh.

The fiancée has a few must sees Edinburgh Castle, Blackness Castle (she's an Outlander fan), Dunnottar, Doune Castle (Outlander again), Culloden and Inverness. The Lad loves the outdoors and animals, part of my desire to get to the Islands and Highlands. Me I want to get to Skye, Lewis and Harris for sure, though I'd love to spend time on many more of the islands in the Hebrides. Part of my desire to get out to the Hebrides is because after doing my genealogy I discovered many of my roots trace back to the Isles. Generally speaking we have an interest in nature and history with some desire for culture (art/dining/etc...).

So to this end I have a few questions. Should I just ditch the idea of making it to the Orkneys and Shetlands and hope to make it there on another trip?

Given the interests listed above what would people suggest as must see locations? Are there islands outside of Skye, Lewis and Harris that you would say are can't miss experiences?

Final question, I've seen some people here post about wearing the kilt while in Scotland. This is something I've never done as a tourist, I just feel silly doing it, but my son may want to do so, so I thought I would ask about the etiquette of kilt wearing as a tourist. Or is it as I fear, kind of silly and out of place?

Thanks for any and all input.
