This sounds like a good wee adventure, and you are following a fine tradition. This is how we used to do things, using what you have to tour. All my friends and I started this way, I used a BSA Bantam, Honda CD175, and various other wee bikes. The camping stuff from the likes of Go Outdoors is pretty good, and cheap too! do get a camping mat of some description,as you know,our weather can be "changeable!" Wild campng is allowed and you can find good sites in most areas. Make your plans loose, if the weather where you are headed is poor, head somewhere else! If you feel like a long day in the saddle, have one, and if you don't ,well, don't!

Skye has been mentioned. Highly recommend! Use the bridge one way, and a fantastic turntable ferry at Glenelg on the way back. Also, stay away from JOG. There are far nicer places along the coast.

Good luck and enjoy!

Yes, it is a far better road to the Isles, but do check the operating hours/months of the year: the ferry itself is run as a charity nowadays, IIRC, so it certainly does not operate during the darker/colder periods of the year.
