    Not an easy question to answer and there will be many differing points of view. So, for want of giving you some food for thought, I wonder if you will have time to do all that you mention in your post? For example, Skye might give you a taste of what Harris and Lewis will give, do you really need to go to them?. Yes for sure Harris and Lewis are different, but not that different.

    Bring some good Lightweight binoculars(10x40) with you, as there is much interesting wildlife to be seen, but often it will be at a distance.

    Avoid the Tartan justification lecture and the family history story---------it has the same effect as a shark swimming into a shoal of herrings on the locals!

    If you are going to wear the kilt then make sure its worn properly---hose pulled up, kilt at the correct height etc., the locals will appreciate that. And if father and son are wearing their kilt at the same time, it would be best if the kilts were of the same tartan,or at least of the same Clan.

    Hope this helps and please do not hesitate to ask me for further thoughts should you require them.
