Well done Standard, you have done a super job of "selling" my part of Scotland! I could also add that Glencoe is only 15 miles from Fort William, Oban about 30 miles away with some stunning sceneary in between. If one really wanted to push the boat out, there is also just outside FW, Inverlochy Castle Hotel(not to be confused with the ruins of Inverlochy Castle) a sumptuous establishment with a fine menu, views and rooms and would most definitely meet your "luxury" requirements!
For the rest of Scotland, you have had good advice, but the far North of Scotland and the Borders of Southern Scotland should not be ignored. Personally, I would not spend too much time in Edinburgh as it is, generally speaking, not these days "real" Scotland.
