Mr and Mrs Duck go and stay in a nice hotel.
One night they call room service for some condoms as things are heating up.
The guy arrives and says "do you want me to put it on your bill"
Mr Duck says "what kind of pervert do you think I am?!

I'm planning to spend 7 nights in Scotland.
2 nights in Edinburgh
1 night in St. Andrew - Loch Leven castle en route, Fairmont St. Andrews
1 night in Inverness
1 night in Skye - Eat at Kinloch lodge
1 night in Inverlochy - Take ferry to Mallaig, see Glencoe, stay at Inverlochy Hotel
1 night in Glasgow - Sherbrooke Hotel
12 hours driving, 470 miles: https://goo.gl/maps/HCXoke1eiA32
Is this too much traveling? My instinct is to cut Inverness because of the distance but it doesn't save much time and my girlfriend is adamant about going to Skye.
Do I need to book tickets in advance for anything like Loch Leven, Loch Ness or the ferry to Mallaig?
What's a realistic drive time for St. Andrews to Inverness? Google maps says 3.5 hours but everyone warns Scottish roads are slow.
What should we see in Edinburgh? I've seen recommendations for Edinburgh Castle, Bollinger Bar, Royal Yacht Brittania and the 2 national museum/galleries.
Is St. Andrews worth visiting? Is it worth stopping at Loch Leven? Would we be better off staying at Gleneagle Hotel?
What is worth seeing in Inverness, Skye and the Inverlochy area? I've seen people say Fort Williams and Ben Nevis are not worth visiting.
I've seen people say Scotch distilleries are not worth visiting. Is there a good one along this route worth stopping at?
If you're from a country that drives on the right hand side of the road, and thus drives left hand drive cars, you'll be driving in opposite world. Multiply google's driving estimates by 1.5 in this case as there isn't a cats chance in hell you can maintain an average speed of 50mph in a 60mph zone.
If you're driving an automatic you can probably mutliply googles estimates by 2.
Apart from that it's a pretty good itinerary. I've worked in the hotel industry for well over a decade and I've heard from countless people (exclusively non-British people) how boring and pointless distillery tours are, and in every single case it's been because they're driving that day or they don't drink alcohol. The entire point of a distillery tour is to drink the whisky in it's purest form, before it's even got into a bottle. If you've got five hours of driving planned that day then appreciating that isn't exactly going to be easy. The alternative is staring at a vat full of slowly rotting wheat for half an hour which is about as interesting as you can imagine.
