Wow! Thanks for the tips so far, guys!! I am actually printing some of these off so I can put them in my folder and not lose them!!

Great ideas and great places to start researching. The only place Scott has insisted that we visit is the far North Highlands in the, obviously , MacKay ancestral lands. Other than that, we're wide open for suggestions.

One question so far, several have mentioned trains and rental cars. Is it generally easy to get a rental car in the bigger cities and towns? Perhaps a combination of rail and road would be best for us? (We do love to get off the beaten path!)

Keep 'em coomin', y'all!!
