I've had a decent look at the East Highland way and looks like it may be a winner, just got to hope I can get my holiday request in time.

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
any of the trails in the central or eastern highlands will be far less popular, and far more ameanable for bushcrafty-type adventures - if you want Scotland, then they would be my choice.
heading right over to the west coast is also a good option - its very remote, its easy to find a discrete pitch, fishing etc.. is easy, and theres woodland right down to the waters edge in many places. however, if you want to cover a decent distance it can be something of a mare - by definition the coast is an endless stretch of headlands and inlets, and you might walk 20 miles along the coast and be 5 miles as the crow flies from where you started, and its also up-down-up-down-up-down-up-down-up-down - its knackering....
you pays your money and you takes your choice...
if you really fancy the adventure feeling, i'd offer Knoydart - firstly you get the ferry from Mallaig... there is some infrastructure on the peninsular, one or two bunkhouses, a small shop in Inverie, and a couple of bothies, but thats about it - no roads, no streetlights...
